Your code is private with the Dropbox suggestion, it's a private account that's password protected. No difference vs. a private Github account in terms of access rights, apart from the fact the Dropbox one is free that is. In general I would say the Dropbox approach is best if you are just starting out developing some apps and don't yet have a remote server setup. It's easy to set up, and lets you share a master repository to push and pull from with all your computers. Here is a good blog on the setup: http://blog.rogeriopvl.com/archives/using-git-with-dropbox Once you have a server though you may as well just stick your master repository there. I still don't see any real need for the extra baggage of Gitosis or whatever if you are dealing with a 1 or 2 man team. > > On Jun 6, 7:33 am, Marnen Laibow-Koser <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Ginty wrote: > > > On Jun 3, 9:58 pm, Marnen Laibow-Koser <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> Real user accounts in your repository.
