Out of interest: Where do you stay? Do you rent a flat/house? If so: How do keep it clean? What do you eat? Are you out-sourcing your food production? I am asking because, the smartphone discussion aside, i find it questionable to spea

Is there a git tool which syncs remotes? I could set up a second remote for the times github is down, but how do i share it with my team members? Does everybody need to add it manually? That could become tedious with larger teams or more re
