Getting Started with CodeTogether

CodeTogether is a powerful platform that combines advanced engineering intelligence with seamless collaboration tools to elevate your development workflow. At its core is the Intelligence Suite, which transforms data into actionable insights, ensuring that teams can track progress, set goals, and optimize performance with ease. Paired with CodeTogether Live, the platform enables real-time collaboration, making it easier than ever to work together efficiently.

Engineering Intelligence​

CodeTogether’s Intelligence Suite goes beyond data collection, transforming raw metrics into actionable insights that enhance team efficiency and performance. Its core capabilities include:

  • Track & Monitor Activity—Gain real-time visibility into workflows at the corporate, department, and project levels.
  • Set & Achieve Goals—Leverage AI-powered insights or customize goals based on engineering metrics.
  • Analyze & Optimize Performance—Use detailed reports and work logs to measure productivity and drive data-backed decisions.

The CodeTogether Portal is your central hub for engineering intelligence, providing real-time insights and data-driven strategies to improve productivity and workflow efficiency.

Opening the CodeTogether Portal​​

  • Log in to CodeTogether from your IDE (such as IntelliJ, VS Code, or Eclipse), and then click the Dashboard button in the CodeTogether view.Login
  • Alternatively, use the appropriate URL:
    SaaS users: https://app.codetogether.com
    On-premises users: Use the custom URL provided by your system administrator
Data Collection and Model Training

Once your projects are configured, CodeTogether immediately starts collecting data. Over the next two weeks, it builds an activity profile based on engineering work patterns. When training is complete, machine learning algorithms detect inefficiencies, anomalies, and opportunities for improvement.

For more information, see Viewing Work Logs.

Collaboration​

Enhance your team’s productivity with the Live module, a powerful collaboration tool designed for seamless real-time interactions. With the CodeTogether Live module installed, you can host collaborative coding sessions and launch A/V or screen sharing sessions directly from CodeTogether.

  • Live Sharing—Hosts can invite guests to join a collaborative coding session from their preferred IDE—even if it differs from the host IDE. Browser-based access ensures inclusion for those without a compatible IDE. For more information, see Getting Started with Live Collaboration and Working in a Live Collaboration Session.

  • A/V & Screensharing—Augment your coding session with our Audio/Video bridge. Ideal for situations requiring graphical views or workflows where live code sharing alone isn’t sufficient. For more information, see Using Audio & Video in a Session.
