| Oct 10, 2012 at 22:40 | comment | added | Northstrider | it'd help you to play around with it on your local pc. Most people use the command line to initialize a repo. I've gotten lazy and used GUI tools like git extensions. Basically you can create a new repository of a directory and all its files. or you can create a "bare" repository, which will be used to receive files pushed to it. or you can clone an existing repository onto your machine. (which means you now have that full repo on your machine with all it's version history). | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 21:52 | comment | added | StackUnder | @mattnz I meant cost about how much storage does it uses against SVN files. Maybe my question isn't clear but I dont have a sync problem. The sync is fine. I just want to add the ability to revert files (and maybe have a history of the development). So, if I peform a GIT clone using my previous described file tree organization I would have the git master repo and the git clone inside the synced folder. Is this the only way? Can't I somehow working inside the master repo without cloning it? Does SVN do something like it? | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 21:41 | comment | added | mattnz | @StackUnder: GIT does not need a central server as SVN does, so is much better suited. Cost? What do you mean - GIT is Free. Disk space is cheap. Your sync problem is best solved with Bitbucket. as it makes syncing the changes easier as the various PC's don't need to connect to each other. You could also carry a GIT clone or just bundles around on a memory stick if you really object to BitBucket for sync. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 21:29 | comment | added | StackUnder | I can do this too using SVN, but is GIT better than SVN for this scenario? Does GIT duplicates the files from the MyProject folder into the .git folder or does something else? You see, I know they both can do this but at what cost? I would like a comparison. | |
| Oct 10, 2012 at 21:16 | comment | added | Northstrider | You can put your git repo in dropbox or google drive, etc. You still need to "commit" your work so you can revert operations | |

| Oct 10, 2012 at 20:22 | comment | added | StackUnder | Sorry if I didn't make myself clear but I don't want to use cloud repos. I'd like to store my repo inside my synced folder. I want to use the VCS only to perform revert operations, not push/pull | |
