I teach a college-level intro to html/css/js to mostly business majors. We can get by with VSCode doing livereload on a single machine or liveshare on multiple machines, but not both because Univ IT blocks liveshare's public port broadcast. Teaching them Git would burn 1-2 class sessions, but might be worth it -- not sure.
Is there a way to satisfy these reqs?
1. Provides live-sharing (2+ students code from separate machines in the same file)
2. Supports auto-reload on each machine without public port binding (Univ IT blocks port broadcast)
3. Is an IDE or IDE extension
4. Keeps some sort of version history
5. Syncs a local copy of the files on each machine* (nice to have)
also glitch.com is pretty sweet!
