Hi,
I’ve been looking at GitHub, BitBucket, CloudForge etc. and I notice there is a bunch of stuff about Git, Mercurial, and more and I have absolutely no experience with these things. I just want to be able to share my code with 2 or more computers and see changes to the code real time, without paying something. I tried using Dropbox but it didn’t seem to sync, can anyone suggest a service that’s free and will meet my needs?
Personally what I use is a network attached external hard drive (or NAS). I store all of my project files on there and can access them from any computer/device. It’s essentially an external hard drive that has wifi built in, which I can access from anywhere I am.
Corona Cloud would not help you for this.
You can use networking too. On one computer, share your projects folder. on another computer connect to the projects folder.
Dropbox works fine. But you can not leave a .lua file open on one computer, change it on another and see the changes in real time. To be safe make sure you close your files before making changes on another computer or you risk ending up with many different versions.
If you are somewhat tiny bit serious about programming, take the time to learn Git or Mercurial. It will change everything. You don’t need to do it now if you are just beginning, but keep it in mind.
Sorry, I guess the title led you wrong. I meant services to put stuff in the cloud.
Yeah, I tried Dropbox and logged into my account on the other computer instead of an account I shared my files with. It worked great, thanks.
Eventually I’ll learn Git or Mercurial.
I’ll look into it, but it seems like they are about $50+.
That’s pretty cheap
I guess, but I don’t really have much to spend.
