Git repository on my Drop Box!
My DropBox folder is mapped to a local directory:
C:\Users\Yoshi\DropBox
I manually created a folder for my project
C:\Usrs\Yoshi\DropBox\Gits\MyProject.git
CD into MyProject.git and issue
C:\Users\Yoshi\DropBox\Gits\MyProject.git> git init --bare
Now I have a git repository on DropBox, which will, needless to say, automatically sync up with its cloud image.
Let's make a local working repository.
D:\Projects\
CD into this new directory, then
D:\Projects\> git clone C:\Users\Yoshi\DropBox\Gits\MyProject.git LocalProject
This creates
D:\Projectrs\LocalProject.
Since its empty, let's add a file.
C:\Projects\LocalProject> notepad.exe hello.txt
After you put some texts and save the file, issue two commands
C:\Projects\LocalProject> git add hello.txt
C:\Projects\LocalProject> git commit -a -m "Added a new file!"
Now we got a file in our DropBox-based git respository.
Go to another computer where your DropBox is also installed. Let's say it is at (note, it may be different from other computers):
C:\Users\yoshiwatanabe\DropBox
Then you should see
C:\Usres\yoshiwatanabe\DropBox\Gits\MyProject.git
You can create another local repository on this different computer
C:\development\> git clone C:\Users\tsuyoshiwatanabe\DropBox\Gits\MyProject.git LocalProject
This creates
C:\development\LocalProject
With hello.txt in it.
This way, you can work on your project from many different computers.
