Can you elaborate on the effectiveness of this methodology? It sounds too good to be true (so I’m tentative to explore). What hang ups if any do you encounter? Did you have any issues working around a corporate security policy? Have you ever run into any issues executing a test too quickly on the windows side for the sync to catch up?
- kyriakos 4y agocorporate policy problems would be only if mutagen.exe is banned by your IT department. usually open source projects are ok with most companies. there are issues occasionally with symlinks (especially with large node_modules folders) but most of the times nothing breaks and they are easily fixable - running mutagen sync monitor shows you things as they happen. one thing to consider is where .git directory is hosted. I personally keep git on windows side - you should make sure it only exists on one side and add an exclusion (mutagen has a parameter for that). performance wise, on SSD, an npm install from zero takes at most 5 seconds to sync (running npm on wsl2 -> files appearing on IDE).
