Try this: separate out the git directory from the working directory so that the working directory is not in dropbox but the git directory is. That might solve some of your problems. E.g.: git --git-dir=/home/me/dropbox/git/proj --work-tree=/home/me/proj init

(1) you can also use the GIT_DIR environment variable, which might save some typing during development (2) another solution is to just clone the bare repository in Dropbox to a temp-directory, work there, and push the changes back to the Dropbox'ed repo. Saves you the effort to specify GIT_DIR or --git-dir all the time and is the saner approach if you have to switch back and forth between different repos. $ GIT_DIR=~/Dropbox/my_repo git init --bare Initialized empty Git repository in /home/chris/Dropbox/my_repo/ $ git clone ~/Dropbox/my_repo Initialized empty Git repository in /home/chris/my_repo/.git/ warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository. $ cd my_repo ; touch README $ git add README ; git commit -m "README" ; git push origin master [master (root-commit) ada37ca] README 0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 README Counting objects: 3, done.
