mob

Mob is a command-line tool that facilitates smooth code handovers in pair programming and mob programming sessions. It streamlines the process of passing control between developers by managing Git workflows, keeping branches clean and creating work-in-progress commits only on temporary branches. The tool includes a shared team timer to coordinate handoffs. Mob is developed by remotemobprogramming, written in Go, and released under the MIT license.

The tool is designed to reduce friction in remote collaboration by automating the version control aspects of code sharing. It provides a simple interface that hides complex Git operations behind straightforward commands, making participation in collaborative programming sessions more straightforward. The tool also offers integration with Visual Studio Code and includes guidance on best practices for remote pair programming workflows.
