This is how I do it... Work <-> Web Server <-> Home The web server acts as my "USB Key", and I have cron jobs to pull and push updates to and from the servers. So at 7:30, I can have a "git pull" on my work machine - so it would go to the web server, pull in and merge my changes before I got to work. Then when I go home, say at 5:10, do a "git push" back to the web server. At 5:30 or so my home machine can do a "git pull" and at 7:00 AM do a "git push". This works pretty well so far. Another solution is to set up your home machine to have dyndns and enable SSH. You can then just ssh into your home machine, and use org-mode that way too. I've tried this quite a bit as well, and am kinda at a crossroads on which I like the most yet... I hope this helps. -David On Wed, 25 Feb 2009, Paul Mead wrote: > I recognize this is more a git question that org-mode, but... > > I'm trying to use git to keep my org-mode version up to date on my personal and > work laptops. > > The only problem is that my work laptop has a firewall on it which does not > allow git traffic to pass. > > I use a repo on a usb drive to keep my emacs init files in sync, but have > absolutely no idea how to do this for my org-mode files.
