Remote editing of files from a "home" computer (for a programmer)?

Question

IDE

Good afternoon fellow developers!
I want to create for myself a convenient development environment.
My stack is VSCODE (html+css+javascript, some php).
I have several jobs, so it happened "historically". It is inconvenient to often transfer and copy files for development, or keep them on file sharing, or remotely connect to the server via RDP and work there. Or teawviewer, too. Is there a solution, a tablet, to keep everything on the server (Windows 2016) and on the computer just vscode and edit the files, they are synchronized with the server every 1-2 minutes.
I know about ftp, since childhood I don’t like this beast, I know about github. Is ingenious the best solution for our brother?

I read about VSCODE Remote - but as I understand it, it is necessary that Linux be on the server.

Answer 1

You can use OneDrive, GitHub (also a great solution)
Or automatically synchronize folders with other services (DropBox, Google Disk)

Answer 2

The ingenious and best solution is called GIT. You need to synchronize not every two seconds, but separate, complete in meaning and tested (at least by the developer), commits.
If desired, it can be uploaded to Windows and put on the Internet, but this will take more time and effort than similar actions on Linux.
As a life hack, run Linux in Hyper-V. That will be even more reliable.

Answer 3

The solution was invented back in the early 90s and is called VCS (Version Control System - Version Control System). Git is quite suitable for the work of one person, especially since there is a github :)
