Quick Start
Available as both a cloud-based service (SaaS) and an on-premises deployment, CodeTogether empowers your team with actionable insights across the software development lifecycle while enabling seamless live collaboration.
CodeTogether installation and project setup are performed once by an administrator. Engineers do not need individual license keys—they simply install the CodeTogether plugin for their IDE and are ready to go.
This guide walks you through the steps to get your CodeTogether suite up and running quickly.
CodeTogether is highly flexible and lightweight, requiring minimal bandwidth—making it ideal for both in-office and globally distributed teams.

Connect CodeTogether to your existing tools, such as issue trackers and repositories, for a seamless onboarding experience. For details, see Setting Up Your Project.
Step 3: Add CodeTogether to IDEs
Each team member installs CodeTogether into their IDE, enabling live collaboration and providing immediate insights into developer workflows. For details, see Adding CodeTogether to the IDE.
Step 4: Optimize Development
With setup complete, CodeTogether starts analyzing your data. Full model training typically takes about two weeks, delivering actionable intelligence to enhance processes. For details, see Getting Started with CodeTogether.
