How to enable file locking on open files

#1

How can I enable file locking on files I am editing / previewing? I would like to start collaborating on a shared folder and require dependent files to be kept up-to-date realtime which is why github is not an ideal solution. Enabling file locking will allow us to work on the same project in real-time and prevent conflictions.

Use a plugin. I’m sure somebody else had the same idea.

Other than that, there are a few collaboration tools like floobits.com/ for example which work differently but might also help you.

I have looked for a plugin, that was my first thought. There was one github.com/artnc/sublime-file-locking but it has a bug with previewing files and is also not available on ST3 (which is what we’re using).
