正确的方法是使用git-remote-dropbox: https://github.com/anishathalye/git-remote-dropbox

在Dropbox中创建自己的裸回购会导致很多问题。Anish(库的创造者)解释得很好:

The root cause of these problems is that the Dropbox desktop client is designed for syncing files, not Git repositories. Without special handling for Git repositories, it doesn’t maintain the same guarantees as Git. Operations on the remote repository are no longer atomic, and concurrent operations or unlucky timing with synchronization can result in a corrupted repository. Traditional Git remotes run code on the server side to make this work properly, but we can’t do that. Solution: It is possible to solve this properly. It is possible to use Git with Dropbox and have the same safety and consistency guarantees as a traditional Git remote, even when there are multiple users and concurrent operations! For a user, it’s as simple as using git-remote-dropbox, a Git remote helper that acts as a transparent bidirectional bridge between Git and Dropbox and maintains all the guarantees of a traditional Git remote. It’s even safe to use with shared folders, so it can be used for collaboration (yay unlimited private repos with unlimited collaborators!). With the remote helper, it’s possible to use Dropbox as a Git remote and continue using all the regular Git commands like git clone, git pull, and git push, and everything will just work as expected.

我不想把我所有的项目都放在一个Git存储库下，也不想为每个项目运行这些代码，所以我编写了一个Bash脚本来自动化这个过程。你可以在一个或多个目录上使用它——所以它可以为你完成这篇文章中的代码，也可以一次在多个项目上完成。

projects_to_git.sh -- Takes a project folder and creates a Git repository for it on Dropbox

USAGE:
    ./projects_to_git.sh file1 file2 ..

EXAMPLES:
    ./projects_to_git.sh path/to/MyProjectDir
        Creates a git project called MyProjectDir on Dropbox

    ./projects_to_git.sh path/to/workspace/*
        Creates a git project on Dropbox for every folder contained within the workspace directory, where the project name matches the folder name

            git remote add origin "~/Dropbox/git/$PROJNAME"
            git push -q origin master

我们在共享文件夹上使用这种方法(在Dropbox中创建一个裸存储库)。

一小组开发人员可以从这个完全同步的存储库中提取数据，并创建一个本地克隆。一旦单位的功完成了，我们就回到原点。

我缺少的一件事是，在推送到原点时发送带有更改集信息的电子邮件的好方法。我们使用谷歌Wave来手动跟踪更改。

在我看来，Dropbox只适用于个人用途，因为你不想麻烦地获得一个中央回收主机。对于任何专业开发来说，你可能会制造更多的问题，而不是解决更多的问题，就像已经在帖子中多次提到的那样，Dropbox并不是为这个用例而设计的。也就是说，在没有任何第三方插件或工具的情况下，在Dropbox上转储存储库的一个非常安全的方法是使用捆绑包。我在我的.gitconfig中有以下别名以节省输入:

[alias]
        bundle-push = "!cd \"${GIT_PREFIX:-.}\" && if path=\"$(git config remote.\"$1\".url)\" && [ \"${path:0:1}\" = / ]; then git bundle create \"$path\" --all && git fetch \"$1\"; else echo \"Not a bundle remote\"; exit 1; fi #"
        bundle-fetch = "!cd \"${GIT_PREFIX:-.}\" && if path=\"$(git config remote.\"$1\".url)\" && [ \"${path:0:1}\" = / ]; then git bundle verify \"$path\" && git fetch \"$1\"; else echo \"Not a bundle remote\"; exit 1; fi #"
        bundle-new = "!cd \"${GIT_PREFIX:-.}\" && if [ -z \"${1:-}\" -o -z \"${2:-}\" ]; then echo \"Usage: git bundle-new <file> <remote name>\"; exit 1; elif [ -e \"$2\" ]; then echo \"File exist\"; exit 1; else git bundle create \"$2\" --all && git remote add -f \"$1\" \"$(realpath \"$2\")\"; fi #"

例子:

# Create bundle remote (in local repo)
$ git bundle-new dropbox ~/Dropbox/my-repo.bundle
# Fetch updates from dropbox
$ git bundle-fetch dropbox
# NOTE: writes over previous bundle. Thus, roughly equivalent to push --force --prune --all
$ git bundle-push

我把我的非github回购存储在Dropbox上。我遇到的一个警告是重新安装后的同步。Dropbox会先下载最小的文件，然后再下载较大的文件。如果你从晚上开始，周末后再回来，这不是问题:-)

现在是2014年，我已经使用Git和Dropbox大约一年半了，没有任何问题。 以下是几点:

我所有使用Dropbox的电脑都是Windows操作系统，不同版本(7到8)+ 1个mac。 我不与其他人共享存储库，所以我是唯一一个修改它的人。 git push推送到一个远程存储库，这样如果它损坏了，我可以很容易地恢复它。 我必须在C:\Users中使用mklink /D链接目标创建别名，因为一些库指向绝对位置。
