One is version control for your developers and another is content management for the academic side. This goes way beyond what you can effectively do with symlinks, aliases, and shared (cloud) storage. Disclaimer: this is the type of consulting I do on a daily basis. | |

| Apr 21, 2018 at 21:10 | comment | added | bmike♦ | No worries. I think the search vs organize vs link idea is deep and worth hosting as long as there’s still a clear question and yours about link vs alias is quite clear in this context. | |
| Apr 21, 2018 at 20:55 | comment | added | Rax Adaam | thank you kindly for the detailed response! I'm going to have to take some time to digest. Will leave the question open for the time being, just to see if there are any other answers / useful p.o.v., but of course you're right re: multiple questions. It got away on me :) | |

| Apr 21, 2018 at 13:03 | comment | added | bmike♦ | Generally one question per question is best but since you put so much work in this I’ll try to answer both and worst case you could ask a follow on question more narrowly scoped linking here to pick apart or elaborate on either of the shorter answers. Sorry for the very long answer - that might be better done in Ask Different Chat | |
