What is Conflict?

Conflict notifies a software developer of potential conflicts between his/her work and that of other developers, before the commit.

Conflict is an open source project composed of two parts: Conflict clients and a Conflict server. A Conflict client is a transparent process running on the workstation of each developer. It stays in the background, reporting local file system changes to the Conflict server. When the Conflict server detects a conflict between two or more developers, each developer is notified. The Conflict project improves feedback and communication while encouraging developers to check in code frequently.


To the right, a developer is being notified of a potential problem via a Windows tray icon.

Below, a developer has begun working on the source code file. At the bottom of the IDE, a notification message tells developer that someone else is working with the same file.
