copied!<p>If you want to add an intermediate repo container, Dropbox is fine provided:</p> <ol> <li><p>You use the <strong><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2129214/backup-a-local-git-repository/2129286#2129286"><code>git bundle</code> format</a></strong>: it generates a bare repo with only <em>one</em> file (meaning Dropbox is more likely to correctly sync it to any of your computers: it is just about copying <em>one</em> file, not "the whole structure" from which you are not sure you will get <em>everything</em> back).</p></li> <li><p>You are using incremental bundle for each of your saves (again, one file per save, easy to pull from on the other side to get back what has been done).<br> Name your increment after the source (laptop or desktop) and with the date.<br> Basically, you will pull from any xxx.bundle you haven't pulled yet.</p></li> <li><p>You regularly clean all the intermediate incremental bundles, replacing it with a full bundle from whatever source is the most up-to-date</p></li> </ol> <p>That model allows for:</p> <ul> <li><strong>simple sync process</strong> (one or very few files)</li> <li><strong>quick saving process</strong> (with incremental bundles)</li> <li><strong>scaling</strong>: if there is more than one actor, i.e. if several people are updating the same branch, you can isolate their contributions when pulling from them by referencing their bundles using a different remote name (since each bundle is a bare repo from which you can pull).</li> </ul>
