Article could be summarized to one sentence "Put your git repo in your Dropbox". It does also go on to suggest that you share this folder with other Dropbox users but that's a bad idea. Even single users can end up with problems if they use multiple machines, git doesn't understand Dropbox's method of dealing with conflicts.
- agnoster 16y agoYeah, I think people may be overthinking this, although there's something to be said for "two great tastes that taste great together". It's kind of silly, but I actually wrote a "git dropbox" command to just stuff a bare repo of what I'm doing in my Dropbox so I don't have to think about it... and I kind of like it. Maybe it's overkill, but if I only have to type one command, it's easy enough I won't think about it :-) (https://github.com/agnoster/git-dropbox/ https://github.com/agnoster/git-dropbox/ for what it's worth) Agreed it's a dangerous idea for collaboration, unless you are the only one pushing to it and everyone else just pulls. That could work as a simple way to make your git repo pull-accessible to others without using a separate service or server (assuming you both have Dropbox already, of course).
