Introducing Beanstalk for Code Collaboration

Managing code changes and edits on a team is tricky. When it's just a one-man show you can make changes to your hearts desire without stepping on toes. Introduce one or two teammates and code conflicts are bound to happen.

That's where Beanstalk comes in. Beanstalk helps you move from a one-man team managing code locally to a multi-person team managing code with version control and full on collaboration tools.

Sometimes you'd like to do a bit more than check in code though and that’s where the Beanstalk integration with Zapier comes in. With Beanstalk and Zapier you can easily:

• Get IM alerts for Beanstalk changes
• Create todos for Beanstalk comments
• Start projects from new Beantsalk repos

Zapier lets you extend the functionality of Beanstalk far beyond the capabilities already built into Beanstalk and simplify the process around managing and building software.
