A Version Control Tool by Reliable Software

Forget about high priced version control and configuration management systems. Forget about central servers. Simplify your code development with Code Co-op, the affordable peer-to-peer version control system with built-in wiki bug database. With Code Co-op your team has complete access to your projects on- and off-site regardless of a network connection. Integration with many IDEs is seamless and project changes are sent automatically enabling you to focus on what's important — your development.

• Collaboration from any location using Email, LAN, or VPN - no server required.


• Complete access to your project regardless of a network connection including your bug database


• Robust functionality to give you control and security over all your assets


• Seamless integration with Visual Studio, Borland C++ Builder & Delphi, and other development tools.

Collaborating with Code Co-op

As development demands increase, so does your need for a flexible and efficient version control system. You need to be confident that your software assets are tracked and secure and that you are kept up to date with project changes regardless of where you are.

Code Co-op was the first affordable peer-to-peer version control system for distributed teams to address these needs when introduced in 1997. Today, we are still leading the way in our unique approach to version control by enabling developers to collaborate on- and off-site using Email, LAN, and VPN – no server required.

Code Co-op is a peer-to-peer system where each project member or peer has a complete copy of each project. Yes, this includes the project history. Code Co-op then ensures that each peer is in synch through the exchange of scripts.

Whether you are using Email, LAN, or VPN to connect to other project peers, Code Co-op makes it easy to stay synchronized. When a check-in is done, small packets of information containing only the changes are compressed and distributed to each project peer. If you are connected through LAN or VPN, the changes are copied over the network. If you are offsite, these changes are emailed to you for receipt through your POP3/SMTP email account or MAPI email client.

Since Code Co-op is a peer-to-peer system, all you need is a computer to collaborate. You do not need a central server and the maintenance associated with this type of system. Keep in mind that you can install Code Co-op on a server to create a back-up or if you want to stage it for testing or publishing at no additional cost

Complete Code Co-op Project Access

Whether you are at the office, traveling, working from home, or at your favorite coffee shop, Code Co-op gives you complete access to your project.

You can check out files, review or restore history and more all without a network connection. How is this possible? Code Co-op makes this possible by maintaining a secure copy of your projects on your computer. It is from this secure copy that you will check-out files and make your changes. Additionally, you can access your entire project history whether you need to review, restore, branch or save your project files at a previous state. Whatever you need to do, you can. The only time you need to be connected to your network or the internet is when you need to synch up with others. This enables you to develop anytime, anywhere.

With the release of version 5.0 Code Co-op includes an optional wiki bug database which you can then review and amend at any time.

Robust Control with Code Co-op

A secure project database is the backbone of every good version control system. Code Co-op uses a fully transactional database which ensures that your project code will not be compromised with partial check-ins. The entire check-in process has to be completed before the database is updated.

Having additional back-ups of your project is a common precaution. Luckily, Code Co-op creates back-ups of your project automatically because each project member has a copy of the entire project and its history on their computer. An additional machine can be set-up to automatically synch with all projects at no additional cost.
