Trial ?

mob is a command-line tool for seamless git handover in remote pair or mob programming. It hides all the version control paraphernalia behind a command-line interface that makes participating in mob programming sessions simpler. It also provides specific advice around how to participate remotely, for example, to "steal the screenshare" in Zoom rather than ending a screenshare, ensuring the video layout doesn't change for participants. Several of our teams highly recommend mob, and it has become an integral part of our toolchain in remote pair or mob programming.
