I know there are many tutorials to use Dropbox as a Git repository, but I do want to know is how to recommend non-technical staffs to commit their changes.
So it would be nice if I can git-fetch all change history from Dropbox, merge/resolve conflicts and then commit them back to Dropbox as well as what git-svn does.
Does this make sense?
I am almost ready to give up convincing all co-workers to use VCS.
If you’re using macs, Github has a very nice graphical desktop application that makes using git super-easy for non-technical users. They plan to expand to Windows too, but it’s not at that point yet (most of the userbase use macs, apparently, so they went for that first).
This is as easy to use as a Dropbox equivalent and you can just drag a folder form Finder onto the application and it’ll make it into a new git repo ready for you to press the ‘sync’ button and send it to your account. You’ll need a paid Github account if you want the stuff to be private of course, but it’s only $7 a month, so not a bad option.
