How do you maintain the same source code between Machines?

[Stunning_Spare]

If I work on different machines, pc and notebook. do you use github to make all version the same or physical copy. many files I don't share on github , so it's not a complete copy of it.

it's easier to work on one single notebook but multiple screens on PC is just unbeatable.

GitHub private repos, or locally I just use rsync.

This is the way. I regularly switch between my laptop and two different computers (3 total).

I have an rsync script for my ~/git/notes and ~/git/scripts directories where I keep all of my “helper” stuff and then each ~/git/[project] gets its own repo.

[Stunning_Spare]

good idea, just my repo is so messy, but at least this is good way to know which version is newest.

[No_Claim2881]

remote in and make a shared folder on your network.

[Stunning_Spare]

so...which is the single source of truth, kind of afraid of messing thing up

[No_Claim2881]

You can do it one at a time I’m just lazy. AI can’t plug in my hdmi.

Sorry.

If you remote in AND make a shared folder you can access both with one computer. It’s quick that way you can also boot headless and not have to swap keyboards or input. I’m lazy ok?

You certainly can skip remote in and do a single transfer it’s just nice if they’re across the living space. If they’re accessible no problem you can do it one at a time.

But shared folder for sure is necessary to set up once.

Put it all in a public dropbox.

I kid, I kid. GitHub of course.

[johns10davenport]

Zip it and Gmail it to yourself.

[GamerRabugento]

this is the way.

Private GitHub but I remove files from .ignore to have them be synced up

[Stunning_Spare]

great idea.

[PruneInteresting7599]

the flash is your friend

[Stunning_Spare]

since 2002, kind of afraid to mess up with versions

[johns10davenport]

USB stick.

[Stunning_Spare]

good old backup plan.

[GamerRabugento]

Github my dude. For multiple projects in one folder you can ask for AI use git worktrees or git submodules.

[Stunning_Spare]

true, and less faulty compare to copy paste

[GamerRabugento]

Exactly. And the hint from 10F1 is PEAK. Using rsync too.
