Detect merge conflicts in realtime
FOSDEM 2013

Baboon can helps you ! It's a lightweight daemon that detects merge conflicts before they actually happen. In fact, it detects them in real time.

Do you waste your time in resolving merge conflicts with your favorite source code manager ? Do you want to get rid of "Merge Hells" ?

Baboon can helps you ! It's a lightweight daemon that detects merge conflicts before they actually happen. In fact, it detects them in real time.

As soon as Baboon is installed and configured (a matter of seconds, honest, a minute top) on your project's contributors computers, it starts its job.

Baboon syncs in real time your files (well, everytime you save one) with the ones of your co-workers on a central server and simulates a merge of the files.

If a conflict is detected, every contributor receives an alert to warn them that eventually, a conflict will occur (Baboon even tells you on which file it will happen).

Time to blame the culprit ! (Yeah, Baboon also tells you who originated the conflict)

He's lucky anyway. At this point, the merge conflict is super easy to solve, it's small. Remember, you're warned in real time.
