I've had a lot of success using Dropbox to keep codebases synchronized across two iMacs, an Air, and Windows XP and 7 VM's; it's particularly nice not having to remember to commit or send, etc. just because you're changing location or OS's and you don't have to worry about backups as you always have n machines + 1 offsite copies. Your git repo's will also be in sync (and anything else you like, e.g., mockups,) and you can commit, push, and pull wherever you like. One caveat for multiple OS's: all native code is in gems with separate source trees so binaries are not synchronized (and don't break.)
Using it with a private development server is great if you're on the same subnet and have a newer Dropbox build that has LAN sync, but hitting save at the coffee shop and having the server up to date two– three seconds later is still satisfying. Log elsewhere if you run rails inside your source tree (and therefore your Dropbox tree): ...configure do paths.log = '/var/log/myapp/rails.log' end Yuri On May 11, 9:55 am, dan <[email protected]> wrote: > im a ruby / heroku noob that has been building app on imac and want to > start using mac book pro for development also. > whats the best way to share my app with both machines for development? > - using separate email address? > - using git separately? > - using gitosis locally? > - copy / paste? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
