Dropbox vs git上的版本控制

[英]Version control on Dropbox vs git

原文 2017-10-26 04:00:38 2 1 git/ version-control

I have a LaTeX manuscript which I am preparing with my group and are using a shared Dropbox folder. 我有一个LaTeX手稿，我正在准备我的小组，并使用共享的Dropbox文件夹。 Technically this is version-controlled, but I would like to be able to see diffs of changes you get with a git repository. 从技术上讲，这是版本控制的，但我希望能够看到使用git存储库获得的更改差异。

Is it possible to create a local git repository to commit to for this reason, without creating a remote repository (since Dropbox kind of serves this purpose already)? 因此可以创建一个本地git存储库来提交，而无需创建远程存储库（因为Dropbox已经为此目的服务）了吗？

1 个解决方案

I mentioned before that using Dropbox for a git repo isn't safe . 我之前提到使用Dropbox进行git repo并不安全。
More specifically, the .git/ folder should not be replicated in dropbox. 更具体地说，不应在dropbox中复制.git/文件夹。

That means you can: 这意味着你可以：

initiate a git repo locally, 在本地发起一个git repo，
move the .git folder outside the folder which will contain your files, 将.git文件夹移到包含文件的文件夹之外，
set environment variable GIT_DIR to the .git/ folder path (again moved elsewhere) 将环境变量GIT_DIR设置为.git /文件夹路径（再次移动到其他位置）
use git inside your document folder as usual. 像往常一样在文档文件夹中使用git 。
backup that same document folder (which does not include .git ) with Dropbox. 使用Dropbox备份相同的文档文件夹（不包括.git ）。
