We typically work in personal feature branches before merging into develop; if you use a similar workflow there shouldn't be much issue at all from pushing constantly.
Can you protect from other folks pulling it? Sometimes people just don't want to reveal their code while is ugly...
Gitolite[1] will let you mark branches as private on the remote either by specific branch name or a regex (ex: any branch that starts with "swah-" is private to you) if you want privacy before revealing your code.

#294What's the solution for when "the cloud" loses your files and the ToS says "so sorry, we'll try harder next time - here's next month's bill"? When I keep my files locally, the only person I have to blame for losing them is myself. Out in "the cloud", there's quite literally nothing that can be done to recover my data.
Linode offer monthly backups for $5. All my real work is pushed to the office repository. All my personal projects are done in a Dropbox folder. I'm pretty confident the data will be ok this time.
Backups with same vender aren't backups.

#295Imagine an "iPad Pro" that had similar battery life and even an integrated keyboard. In addition to supporting the SSH workflow, it can run traditional GUI applications if you really need them. You don't have to wait: it's called the MacBook Air.
I really like the 13" Air form factor, but the high resolution and smaller physical size results in fonts that are a bit too small for my eyes these days. So, I stick with my couple-gen-back 15" with matte finish and 1440x900.
I have exactly those 2 machines you described, but nothing beats having the MBA on your lap and backpack. When I go to the 2008 15 Pro its a huge screen size impact, but whenever I get to pick which I will use, I always go with the MBA.

#296This has to be the most ergonomically inefficient set-up ever! I also cannot fathom how to work with 21" at least). And a tiling window manager. And a decent mechanical keyboard... ok ok.. Interesting setup. I'd be interested in knowing how it works out in the long term.
Seconded, thanks you saved me a lot of typing. :-)

#297Sorry man, but I like to code from my sofa. I also have no problem keeping my Snow Leopard running perfectly. iPad is just way too limited and you will discover that very soon.

Oh, just now I noticed all the affiliate links in your post. Yep, we're on the same page now. Keep going!

This is why I keep my working copies in Dropbox
second that... my working folders are dropbox... and commit to cloud git repository as needed.
Same here. I had some sort of electrical problem with my last computer and lost my hard drive due to it. Unfortunately, my back-up drive was also plugged in at the time and it got fried, as well (really bad luck/timing there).
One of the first thing I did when I got the new computer was to put a symlink to my projects directory in my Dropbox folder, so that all of my projects now get backed up to Dropbox automatically.

#300iSSH maps either alt to option or control to option, how do you have it set up to do both?
Prompt lets you use the control key for control, but the alt key is borked on apple's wireless keyboard.
Is there a set up with both these keys working at the same time, preferably on the keys labeled as such?
