Team Development of HTML5 PhoneGap App

First, I don't know if this is the right place to make this question but, I don't see any other place where to put it.

I would like to know how could I develop a mobile HTML5 App (using PhoneGap) with another friend, without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.

Could I somehow host the Code on a FTP Server and then we both could work on it for example, on Eclipse?

Solution

  • without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.

    How should that be possible? When want to view view something on your local computer, you must have it available on your local computer. But I think I know what you are looking for, three suggestions:

    1. Use a cloud-based IDE. Cloud9 for example is one of the best. However, all of them tend to be slow and buggy.
    2. Just synch the files between your computers. One of the best hosted services is Dropbox, or you can install ownCloud on your own Server.
    3. Use a version control system. This is pretty common for software development as you can easily reproduce who made which change when and why. The best option is git and Github for hosting.
