Git. Also, occasionally doing work with tmux on a Linode. I really like the VM disk image on a USB that some people are suggesting though. And, again, if you used tmux or screen, it would make resuming work easier.

If you don't want to send your unencrypted data to places you do not control - use git-annex for the heavy binaries (photos, PDFs, videos, music) and just sync between your instances. Though git annex can do end-to-end encryption and upload to Dropbox/gdrive as well. Pure Git is great for consolidating configuration as well as keeping plaintext format files in sync. Invaluable if you are an org-mode or markdown jockey.

  Yes, git-annex looks nifty and its prototypical Nomad use case on the website comes close to what I am looking for (lest the system files, executables, etc.)

+1. I ended up using Git for everything. Use a private server, ssh repos, and you have a pretty good end-to-end encryption, and privacy. I've always wished there was something to help me sync my environments, especially between mac an Linux platforms (just sync my terms, keep the history, stuff like this), but at the end of the day, it forces me to stay clean and close my windows from time to time ... Oh and I use Chrome with sync feature, and it works awesomely great! - with extensions like LastPass to sync all my accounts. I used to value privacy a lot .. I gave up when I moved to China.

git and tmux are my main tools for multi-site working too.
