How Can Multiple AL Code Programmers Work Together On The Same Project and Same Time?

Posted on by Rami Mazrawi * 117
Hello, a question for those with experience:
I've been working alone on a (AL Code ) project for a long time in the system (Dynamics 365 Business Central) 
and I'd like an explanation of how to work with another programmer on the same project and same Time simultaneously without conflict. Is this possible?
And what method do I need to learn and successfully implement?

    Our company had similar challenges, since we performed AL development internally, and also contracted outside dev resources. It's pretty straightforward to leverage Azure DevOps to create a project that houses the AL code repository. Assuming it's a custom AL extension. Then different M365 users can be granted access. The users can create their own dev code branches, be assigned tasks as work items, etc. When things have been tested and pass, then those branches can be merged into main.

    Hello,
     
    How two developers can work on the same AL project safely
    The only correct way is to use Git (Azure DevOps or GitHub).
    Each developer works in their own branch, then merges with a pull request → no overwriting each other.
     
    What you need to learn
    Git basics: clone, branch, commit, push, pull, merge
    Branching strategy (feature branches)
    Optional but recommended: AL-Go for GitHub or Azure DevOps pipelines for automated builds
     
    Daily workflow
    Both developers clone the same repo
    Each creates their own branch for each task
    Work → commit → push
    Create Pull Request → review → merge
    CI pipeline builds the .app
     
    Regards,

    Use Git for check-ins.
    Make them work on there own solution and then eventually merge it once it all looks good.
    That's the easiest one.
