Hi Gang, What's the best way for a remote team to work on an xcode project?

I've been working on a project myself, and would like to hire a remote developer to come in and help me add some features to my app. I was planing on compressing my entire project folder and sending it via dropbox, then have them work on it and send it back. But that just seems so inefficient, not to mention, involves me giving up my code.

Isn't there a better way? For example, I know that Unity lets you set up for teams to work on projects.

Thx!

Use git, with a remote repository, then you get all the benefits of source control.

e.g. you can review your remote worker's changes, before merging them into the main project.

I use git for even the smallest Xcode project now, but for a team, it's a no-brainer.
Lots of help is available online.

Use Git!

You can use git, with "remote repository". With git you can work online with your team. The manager of the project can edit everything. Also the manager of the project will have to approve all the changes that the team will do.

I use git all the time with my team. It's easy to use. In my opinion is the best for the use of a team work project.
