This sounds like a development nightmare. It sounds like you are asking
people to step on each other's changes.
Much better to set up a version control system (git, e.g.), and let
everyone develop in their own spaces. People can code and test away
to their hearts' content. Wen they are satisfied, they check their
changes in. Then deployment is a matter of "git pull" (or equivalent) on
the working copy.
