Setup

To get started, follow these simple steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/collaborative-text-editor.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd collaborative-text-editor

3. For client use, you have two modes: collaborative mode and normal mode.

   • Collaborative Mode:

     Use the following flags to connect to a collaborative session:

     go run main.go --client --connect "ip"

     Replace "ip" with the actual IP address of the server you want to connect to.

   • Normal Mode:

     Run the editor without any flags for normal mode:

     go run main.go

     Or, if you want to open a specific file:

     go run main.go filename

Usage

Once the server is running and clients have connected, you can collaboratively edit documents in real-time. In normal mode, you can open, edit, and save files as you would in a regular text editor.

Features

• Real-time Collaboration: Collaborate with team members on the same document in real-time.
• Flexible Modes: Choose between collaborative mode for joint editing or normal mode for individual use.
• Simple Setup: Clone the repository, run the server, and connect clients easily.
