I use git both for Mac and PC.
When pulling Mac’s git from PC, it’s easy as I can use ssh.
git clone smcho@prosseek:~/smcho/setup
The problem happens the other way round : to pull from Mac. I guess there are two ways to go.
Method 1 : Connect to server
By using ‘connect to server’ in Mac, I can make PC’s directory like that of Mac. Even though, the file permission issue, it works pretty well.
Method 2 : ssh
I could run cygwin ssh server (cygrunsrv -S sshd) to be accessed from other computers, but for me, I have to wait quite a while to get connection as I explained here. It’s almost impossible for to use it with git, as I don’t want to wait for minutes to get clone.
Here comes my question.
- Is there any better way other than the previous two methods?
- Is there a (natural) way to support ssh server from Windows (windows 7 precisely) not using cygwin?
There is even another option:
If you use both computers for developing and just want to keep the repositories in sync, you could create a bare repository and use something like Dropbox to synchronize it.
