@Daniel Yeah you’re right. If a lot of people working on dropbox, it’s probably a better solution to come up with a real git server.@viralpatel: Thanks. Good article!

Very useful article.. I have written a similar note on using Dropbox as an SVN repository.. Have a look: http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2011/03/dropbox-svn-subversion-repository.html

If two people push to the same branch at the same time, you’ll most likely end up with a conflict on that branch and you’ll end up with a “master” and a “master (x’s conflicted copy)” and someone will have to resolve them.One warning though… I had my dropbox on a VM that was messing up on me and for some reason it set a bunch of my files to 0 bytes. This propagated to all of my computers. Thankfully, I was able to hunt most of them down and use Dropbox’s restore option, but I still find 1 or 2 files I missed every now and then.

@agnoster: nice@Brian: I assume that one will get an error and has to wait for the other and then pull the changes.

So what happens when two devs push to the “origin” at the same time? Will it get fixed on rebase?

I saw this idea recently, and liked it enough that I wrote a little “git dropbox” command to mirror my current repo to my dropbox. (https://github.com/agnoster/git-dropbox/)The advantage of –mirror for me is that it gets all the branches, tags and everything. For me the dropbox repo is mainly about having a complete copy of my working repo.
