Hello,

I have some problem about how I use org-capture and multiple computer
synchronization. And I would like to have your opinion on this.



I use Org-mode on 2 computers. On each, I have an ~/Org folder
containing my notes and lists of tasks spitted into thematic files. I also
use org-capture to capture new tasks and notes into an inbox file stored
into my ~/Org folder. I should regularly review this inbox to check,
complete missing information and redistribute tasks and notes into other
~/Org files.

To sync the ~/Org folder between the 2 computers, I use Git. It also
help me versioning my ~/Org folder and keeping information about my
modifications. If I have no problem to use Git when I review my inbox
file, or do any manual modification into the ~/Org folder, it's a
problem when I capture. As I generally capture while doing something
else, I only capture a new note or task with no Git commit. And I
quickly end with 2 different inbox, one per computer. And when I finally
do a Git commit on both computer, when I do a sync I end with conflict
in my inbox file.

I was thinking of using org-capture hook to do auto commit. But that
seems a bit too much and don't avoid the conflict when sync. Or maybe I
should exclude my inbox file from Git ? In this case, no more conflict
while sync but I still have 2 different Inbox and important tasks can be
lost because of it.

Do you have any idea ? How do you sync your Org-mode tasks and notes
between multiple computers ?


Best regards
