> I think OP is probably referring to the fact that there is not a no-brainer out-of-the-box way for git repos on different dev machines to autodiscover each other, even on a local network. Ah, OK, gotcha. Thanks! > You can have everyone manually set up a git hosting env on their dev machine, then have everyone manually add a remote for every other developer's box, but it sure isn't convenient. Yeah. But fortunately not all that much of a hassle for a small(ish) dev team. > And if you settle on sharing one central box as the canonical node (which IMO is the right answer), Yeah, we called it "the Dev server". :-) > you're no longer truly using a distributed system - it's a de facto centralized system. But in a corporate (or even Open Source project?) environment, The Powers That Be probably want that kind of / that much centralisation anyway.
