Trigger.io Collaboration

Question

Hey I'm collaborating on a Trigger.io project and I'm curious if there is documentation on how to best do this? I have other guys who are loading my project into their environments (via github) using TriggerToolkit, and they can't run the projects because there are conflicts with identity.json.

We're working on a simpler way for team collaboration, but for now the process for importing and existing Trigger.io will be similar to the instructions here for one of our demo apps: https://github.com/amirnathoo/Sales-Square

Basically each app you create has a unique src/identity.json file which is also specific to your account. You should avoid checking in your src/identity.json file and a collaborator should create their own by creating a new app and then copying your code into the src directory.

Update: we've now enabled better collaboration with our Projects launch announced last week: http://trigger.io/cross-platform-application-development-blog/2013/01/15/introducing-projects/

This should remove the need to manually create / overwrite the src/identity.json file to share Trigger.io app code
