Using git to sync server with laptop
After investigating git for the bioruby project, I started using it on basically every project I run. And what do I use it for? Two things: keeping track of changes (duh) and syncing between server and laptop.
I normally try to get IT so far to let me mount my server Documents folder on my laptop when I'm at work. So ~/Documents actually points to my network drive. That's nice, because I don't have to bother with keeping track of several places to store my documents. If I change anything on my network drive, it looks like it's been changed locally. And vice versa.
But: what if I'm at home (where I work just a bit more than the wife would like)? I can still SSH into the server and do some work, but I can't mount that network drive.
