Working on a coding project without version control = so fucking painful and worrying to me.
INB4: Why? Because collaborators against it.

here is part of that solution (see whole thread though): https://twitter.com/DRMacIver/status/800691765057560576 … Perhaps you have more insight?

Looks like you are aiming for perfection... My quick hack didn't solve all issues, but it was way better than pure Dropbox.
-
The background sync is risky. I just did it by hand, like pull and push to GitHub.
-
ah, I see. So you did a diff every time? I guess that might work. Just have to remember to check their dir ever few days, I guess?
-
No need to do a diff, git does it anyway.
-
A pull just copies the files and commits all changes with a default message. You do a pull before editing anything yourself and that's it.
-
I know how git works. I mean from Dropbox. Presumably I want them to have access to MY edits too.
-
'pull' is my pull script, not 'git pull'. But it is made to behave similarly. You commit your own edits with git and then run the 'push'

I actually did this once for a paper in LaTeX. Worked fine.
