Hello,

We are a small team and wish to use asbru by sharing the yml database between several users on the same computer or a network share, is it possible to share pac.yml?

If yes, how ?

Thank you

Research direction
This issue requests the ability to share the pac.yml configuration file among multiple users. First, read the existing comments for any proposed solutions or user requirements. Investigate file locking (e.g., flock in Perl) to handle concurrent writes. Consider whether a database backend would be more appropriate. Look at the pac.yml structure in the repository to understand the data model. The goal is to produce a design document for implementing shared multi user access without data corruption.
