Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that enable files, such as source code files used in building executable code, to be synchronized between two computing devices in a manner that utilizes file anchors or other time-stamped objects generated by and stored on each computing device. The file anchors can be used to determine which source code files on each computing device have been updated since a prior synchronization with another computing device and also to determine which version of a source code file stored on each computing device is the newer version, even when both computing devices have a different notion of time.

Synchronizing files on different computing devices using file anchors

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are described that enable local builds to be substantially equivalent with remote builds. In embodiments, local build and design-time inputs and/or outputs of a local build environment hosted on a local computing device are projected to remote build and design-time inputs and/or outputs of a remote build environment hosted on a remote computing device. In further embodiments, remote build and design-time inputs and/or outputs of the remote build environment are projected to local build and design time inputs and/or outputs of the local build environment. In still further embodiments, first build and design-time inputs and/or outputs of a first build environment hosted on a computing device are projected to second build and design-time inputs and/or outputs of a second build environment hosted on the same computing device.
