Hi all,
I have several local git repositories on my machine. I'm the only
user, and use them only locally. Now, sometimes when I need to work
remotely, I just rsync my repositories to my laptop, and keep working
there. When I finish (few hours, days or sometimes weeks later), I
just rsync everything back to my local git repositories on my main
workstation, and continue working there.
Now I was wondering whether it's OK or whether there are bad
implication I might not think of working this way. For example, maybe
some of these little git files are named differently on each machine,
and rsyncing them back and forth makes me piling a lot of clutter (in
that case maybe git-gc will clean up everything). Or maybe something
else horrid is going on and I really should just use git-push or pull.
the git files are names by their content so you don't need to worry about
them being named differently
I really prefer rsync to git-push/pull since it is much more easier -
It's one command that syncs my whole working folder, including the git
repositories..
the problems you can run into with rsync all end up related to one of two
things.
1. what happens if the sync gets interrupted
2. what happens if the source gets updated during the sync
in your case these cannot happen without you knowing it, so you should be
ok.
