File system synchronization

Question

linux

Good day.
There is a laptop, netbook.
Task.
Suppose we are working on a laptop , as an example, let's take Python with modules. The OS is Ubuntu. Having done / installed the necessary components, we complete the work. The netbook has a similar system, it is necessary to transfer the changes to the netbook in some way, something like a Diff file system. The main goal is not to bother with manually installing everything on the netbook that was installed on the laptop. Does anyone have any information on how to do this? Perhaps there are automated solutions?

Answer 1

The first thing that came to mind was rsync, ssh key authorization and cron scripting, but there are a lot of “buts” here ...

Answer 2

For Python development, a bunch of virtualenv and github (or bitbucket) is well suited.

Answer 3

friend keeps all ~/ in git on the server. when switching from a desktop to a laptop with one command in the login script, everything that has been changed comes to the laptop.

Answer 4

If we want to synchronize the fruits of our own labor, then it is best to master the version control system, such as svn, git, bazaar - to your taste. It will be useful professionally. And, as they rightly point out, there are free servers on the net where you can store all this.
