Use Dropbox for a git repository in the cloud. I use it for backup purposes.

It's important to use --bare to create a bare repo (without working copy) instead of a normal one, because git will complain about pushing to the working branch otherwise.

References:

• When creating a git repository that will be on the server, can I convert it to a bare repository?

1_clone_project_into_git.sh

# Assuming you already have a git repo somewhere on your drive
# And the project name is "yourproject"

$ cd ~/Dropbox
$ mkdir yourproject_backup
$ cd yourproject_backup
$ git clone --bare -l path/to/your/existent/git/repo/yourproject yourproject.git

2_add_remote_and_push.sh

$ cd path/to/your/existent/git/repo/yourproject
$ git remote add backup ~/Dropbox/yourproject-backup/yourproject.git
$ git push backup master
# Should say already up-to-date because you cloned it earlier, now just enjoy backup in the cloud at a simple command

good idea thanx
