Hi, original author here. Thanks for sharing.
My problem is, that I need to use iCloud Drive for some important files because the app I need to use doesn't support another way to sync.
Without git I wouldn't have figured out which files have changed. (And even with git, I can't be sure that I caught everything. I guess git content can also be altered by iCloud sync conflicts…)
- eviks 3y agoyou might store the git repo on a Dropbox folder (not a good idea in general, afaik clouds aren't reliable enough for git, but as a backup), this way git content can't be corrupted by iCloud? Or maybe even locally if you don't need to commit on other computers, then you'll be certain that git is correct without any cloud intervention
- dominikmayer 3y agoCan I store the hidden git folder outside of the repo content? Not sure how to say. My problem is, that for the time being, some of my files needs to be on iCloud Drive because I rely on one app to edit/create them. Everything else I moved out of iCloud Drive.
- steve1977 3y agoYes the (in git terminology) repository (.git folder) can be completely separate from the working directory (folder on your iCloud drive)
- dominikmayer 3y agoThank you! I didn't know. I'll research and move the folder.
