When working on projects with other people, making use of collaborative tools in order to adequately communicate and keep track of files within the project is vital for successful completion. This becomes especially useful when working on large projects, with many people, or if real-life collaboration is otherwise impossible (like being in a pandemic). This page outlines some helpful tools that help the collaboration process easier.

Bitbucket is based on Git and is mainly a source-code repository that provides similar functionalities with a different interface and some other features.
