Question

I need advice if this setup is ok. I have a personal dev server which runs Ubuntu. I have setup Ubuntu completely with git, django, mod_wsgi and apache2 running. I will be developing using my Macbook Pro.

My idea was to have identical directory structure on both machines off of web root.

Say:

Mac: /path/to/webroot/
                      ...project1/
                      ...project2/

Ubu: /home/me/webroot/
                      ...project1/
                      ...project2/

And use git to initiate the repo on Ubu server and clone it on my mac and start developing. This way I will achieve:

1. Multiple code instances. So that if Ubuntu crashes, I have the code on Mac
2. I will have the code locally on my Mac and that will help if I am on the move.

Please advice if this is a good thinking or needs any improvement.

Answer 1

Sounds OK to me.

Multiple code instances. So that if Ubuntu crashes, I have the code on Mac

If you want to be extra paranoid (like I am) you should think of a third place where your code is available. A git solution like github plus something like Dropbox might be worth pondering.
