Why would you use something like Dropbox over git?
- gglitch 10y agoWhatever tool chain you want, that's part of the attractiveness of the idea. I doubt I'd ever do much but touch, ls, mv, cat, and find, and I doubt I'd need version control.
- tedmiston 10y agoUnless you automate commits, using git is quite a bit of process overhead when you're just adding one item to your inbox or checking one item done.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoI have written scripts to automate commits. What I'd really like is to keep a history of every modification I make. Having that history already in a git repo just seems like bonus.
