Hey there!
I was wondering what is your favorite way of syncing your org files and everything.
I’ve checked out unison, but I want more of an automated system that synchronizes my two clients via an SSH server.
So far, I’ve also read that people use TRAMP in conjunction with an SSH Server (and work exclusively on this SSH server).
I’ve also read about org-sync and magit (git is an option for me).
And now I’m starting the get confused.
Any helpful thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Tobias Frischholz

Hello,
I’m currently working on a single machine, but I may have a couple
suggestions.

Have you looked at the “-repeat” option of unison? When I was using
several machines, I was using simple scripts to run when I arrived and
when I left, making sure I was up to date.

The problem with git is that you need to make sure you pull before
starting to make changes. This can also be solved by a script.
Please let us know when you have a working workflow.
Best,
Alan

magit is just the emacs mode for git, if you don't have it and use
git you should really install it. But it does not sync anything
you still have to M-x magit <enter> F F and M-x magit <enter> P P,
for pull and push.
I have several computers and synchronize my org files with git. I
think it is the best option because I do not have to worry about
the sync not working (for example when I do not have a connection)
and conflicts in the files.

I do this, too. I don't think Magit helps much, in fact I'd be better
off writing functions for `emacs-startup-hook' and `kill-emacs-hook'
that do my pushes and pulls for me.
But for now, I just try to remember to commit and push before I leave a
machine.
This way, you also really learn to appreciate using "git fetch" and "git
status", rather than doing a blind "git pull".

I use unison and it works like a charm, allowing me to keep 4+ systems
in complete sync.
The easiest alternative I can think of is Dropbox or equivalent, if you
want "automation".

At the moment I'm using a self-hosted OwnCloud to do syncing; it's
super easy (takes care of itself), but sometimes conflicts are a
problem (particularly when I forget to save my buffers before
leaving work); if you notice it, though, it provides a conflict
version (and has automatic versioning a la Dropbox).

I use Unison for settings like dotfiles, since with unison you don't have to put files into a specific folder or use symlinks. I miss versioning of Dropbox, but it is okay since settings do not change that frequently. I just back up everything every day.
I use AeroFS for sensitive data and Dropbox for other things.

I use syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) which, admittedly, does not
require a server nor uses SSH :-). I keep four computers in sync this way,
and also use it to send/receive the org files (with MobileOrg) to/from
android devices. It is as automatic as I can think of. Once set up, I have
to do nothing and it just works.
If you are familiar with BTsync you can think of syncthing as somewhat
similar (but much better, and free software).
It is possible to enable a rudimentary form of version control with
syncthing itself, but I don't (the files change too often). Instead, one of
the computers (which should always be on) is also running Seafile
(https://www.seafile.com/en/home/), which actually I think uses git as a
backend, so I can recover disasters.
Syncthing provides conflict detection. It is not git, but it is enough for
me with org files (I rarely edit in two or machines at the same time, and
the last machine where I make a change is often connected before I work on
another so I do not often have a chance for conflict).
[In the past, I used dropbox ---instead of syncthing, though syncthing is
not exactly a one-to-one replacement---, and nightly cron jobs that
committed the org directory in one of the machines to a bzr repo ---instead
of the seafile part--- for disaster recovery.]

I use magit and git for version control but I do not find formal version
control very useful with my org files. I like to be able to finish
something, stop the timer on the laptop, and a second later put it to
hibernate and leave my house/office, without the need for a commit and
push, and knowing that all of that has been synced to all the other
machines that are on and connected. I know, though, that other people feel
differently.
Best,
R.

Thanks for the heads up on this. The only thing I use Dropbox for is
MobileOrg and I would love to avoid using a proprietary *and* closed
system, especially as some of the content is sensitive. Off to read the
web site... :-)

Hi Tobias,

For org files I use git combined with myrepos and it has been working
very well for me for several years. For dotfiles I recently discovered
vcsh, also synced via myrepos. It too is working nicely so far.
When I leave one computer I type 'mr update' and everything syncs to a
server running gitolite that manages bare repos. When I get to another
computer I type 'mr update' to sync it again.
It is quite complicated but does the job.

I'd also recommend trying myrepos and wanted to add that you can avoid
using a bare repo by syncing with git annex [1]. This works regardless
of whether you decide to check your changes into git annex (which tracks
versions of a file and where it exists but not the actual content) or
track the content as usual with git. I don't do this for my Org files
(like Myles, I use plain git and a central bare repo), but I use git
annex for other files whose content I don't want to track with git.

The only thing I can think of that might be worth noting is that
`kill-emacs-hook' is meant for non-interactive hooks. If you want your
hook to query the user, you're supposed to use
`kill-emacs-query-functions' instead.

Uh oh, I might have to start playing with this! Though there's something
nice about the morning ritual of going through a bunch of repos and
updating them.
For doing version control of dotfiles or other collections of
non-interrelated single files, I've been curious about (but haven't yet
tried) ESR's src:

I finally settled on the following (although syncthing looks
promising):
1. git for my 2 org dirs (for home & work)
2. git-annex to manage attachments (I have a local patch to
automatically get annex files from a repo when opening, but haven’t
submitted it yet)
3. git-auto-commit-mode with the following setup:
;; auto-commit to git if the file is in one of my notes repos
(defun egh:maybe-git-auto-commit-mode ()
(let* ((bfn (buffer-file-name))
(root (and bfn (vc-git-root (buffer-file-name))))
(full-root (and root (expand-file-name root))))

AFAIK, You could probably also use git-annex-assistant for this (with
"normal" git as well as "annex"). It's starting to get to a level where
I'm only a bit hesitant to recommend it...

If the content is sensitive you can either encrypt the data yourself
before it goes to Dropbox (see e.g. ecryptfs) or use a service that does
this as part of its process (see e.g. spideroak).
Not that I have anything against doing thing other ways - I'm just
pointing out that privacy concerns don't, of themselves, mean you can't
use Dropbox (or similar).

Sure, you are correct. However, if there are Android devices in the mix,
encrypting locally before sending to Dropbox becomes inconvenient (or at
least too inconvenient for me). I am not sure about spideroak's support for
android, and I recall having experienced problems (I no longer remember the
details) with Wuala.
Best,
R.

Probably worth mentioning this alternative to vcsh:
https://github.com/capr/multigit
The only reason I chose vcsh is because it is more popular and I am a
bit a sheep.
