Team development supports distributed, asynchronous development, such that developers may work on
their on their own local, offline copies of resources and at different times than other developers in the team. Developers may then synchronize their environment with the repository, submitting any revisions to the repository, as well as retrieving from the repository, new revisions created by other developers. Team development also supports conflict resolution in cases where developers have revised the same resource since their last synchronization with the repository.

• Share (or sharing) - The act or command that allows a single developer to share their code with other developers.  This action creates a "link" between the developer's version of the code and the repository version of the code.
• Checkout - The act or command that allows a developer to bring code from the repository to the developer's local system for the first time, and effectively adds the developer to share the code. This action also creates a link between the developer's version of the code and the repository version of the code.
• Commit - When changes are made to any of the resources in a shared, local project, they are determined to be outgoing changes, which may be committed to the repository.  The commit command pushes these changes to the repository and any metadata about the commit (timestamp, comments, etc.).
• Update - Because a project is shared, one developer may have committed their own changes, which are not yet reflected in another developer's local copy. This action brings the incoming changes into the developer's local system, replacing the code with the repository version.

  Note
  NOTE: Both commits and updates only change the code when there is a change made. Example: If you update from the repository, it will only replace code that has been changed, not all of the code.

• Synchronize - The Synchronize  The _synchronize_ process simply refers to the task of connecting with the remote repository and evaluating the net difference between local and remote repository copies. This will show a developer all incoming and outgoing changesAllows the developer to view any changes (pending commits and updates) before they occur, as well as view any conflicts that may exist.
• Conflicts -
