Commenters advocate using Git remotes, bare repositories, or self-hosted servers for syncing code across devices, dismissing alternatives like Dropbox or serverless approaches as unnecessary or inferior.

How about setting up your own git remote?
what advantages does this hold over using a central git repository or gists via github.
Isn't it like putting your local repository on a dropbox or onedriver managed directory?
Just set up a git server somewhere. It's not hard. Way better than using Dropbox too.
Since git is distributed, they could just have a mirror on Bitbucket.
You could run git on the server instead of the client.
ughh... just roll with your own git server.
So, like a centralized git server ?
It sounds like a private git repo would suite you fine. You'll only need an internet connection to update when you've made changes on a different device.
I would think git's distributed nature would make this a lesser issue. You would just have to set up another remote target and push/pull from that (say on AWS or some other provider).
