这个答案是基于Mercurial的经验，而不是Git，但这个经验告诉我们，如果你在不同的时间从不同的机器(对我来说是Mac、Unix和Windows)更新相同的基于Dropbox的存储库，那么以这种方式使用Dropbox会导致存储库损坏。

I don't have a complete list of the things that can go wrong, but here's a specific example that bit me. Each machine has its own notion of line-ending characters and how upper/lower case characters are handled in file names. Dropbox and Git/Mercurial handle this slightly differently (I don't recall the exact differences). If Dropbox updates the repository behind Git/Mercurial's back, presto, broken repository. This happens immediately and invisibly, so you don't even know your repository is broken until you try to recover something from it.

在用这种方法解决了一次混乱之后，我一直在使用下面的食谱，而且非常成功，没有任何问题的迹象。只需将存储库移出Dropbox。其他事情都用Dropbox;文档，JAR文件，任何你喜欢的东西。并使用GitHub (Git)或Bitbucket (Mercurial)来管理存储库本身。这两种工具都是免费的，所以不会增加成本，而且现在每种工具都发挥了自己的优势。

在Dropbox上运行Git/Mercurial除了风险什么都不会增加。不要这样做。

我把我的非github回购存储在Dropbox上。我遇到的一个警告是重新安装后的同步。Dropbox会先下载最小的文件，然后再下载较大的文件。如果你从晚上开始，周末后再回来，这不是问题:-)

我不想把我所有的项目都放在一个Git存储库下，也不想为每个项目运行这些代码，所以我编写了一个Bash脚本来自动化这个过程。你可以在一个或多个目录上使用它——所以它可以为你完成这篇文章中的代码，也可以一次在多个项目上完成。

对于使用Dropbox的小型团队:

如果每个开发人员在Dropbox上都有自己的可写裸存储库，这只对其他开发人员开放，那么这就有利于代码共享而没有损坏的风险!

然后，如果你想要一个集中的“主线”，你可以让一个开发人员从自己的回购中管理所有推送。

我喜欢丹·麦克内文投票最多的回答。我最后做了太多次git命令序列，决定做一个脚本。就是这样:

#!/bin/bash

# Usage
usage() {
    echo "Usage: ${0} -m [ master-branch-directory ] -r [ remote-branch-directory ] [ project-name ]"
    exit 1
}

# Defaults
defaults() {
    masterdir="${HOME}/Dropbox/git"
    remotedir="${PWD}"
    gitignorefile="# OS generated files #\n\n.DS_Store\n.DS_Store?\n.Spotlight-V100\n.Trashes\nehthumbs.db\nThumbs.db"
}

# Check if no arguments
if [ ${#} -eq 0 ] ; then
    echo "Error: No arguments specified"
    usage
fi

#Set defaults
defaults

# Parse arguments
while [ ${#} -ge 1 ]; do
    case "${1}" in
        '-h' | '--help' ) usage ;;
        '-m' )
            shift
            masterdir="${1}"
            ;;
        '-r' )
            shift
            remotedir="${1}"
            ;;
        * )
            projectname="${1##*/}"
            projectname="${projectname%.git}.git"
            ;;
    esac
    shift
done

# check if specified directories and project name exists
if [ -z "${projectname}" ]; then
    echo "Error: Project name not specified"
    usage
fi

if [ ! -d "${remotedir}" ]; then
    echo "Error: Remote directory ${remotedir} does not exist"
    usage
fi

if [ ! -d "${masterdir}" ]; then
    echo "Error: Master directory ${masterdir} does not exist"
    usage
fi

#absolute paths
remotedir="`( cd \"${remotedir}\" && pwd )`"
masterdir="`( cd \"${masterdir}\" && pwd )`"

#Make master git repository
cd "${masterdir}"
git init --bare "${projectname}"

#make local repository and push to master
cd "${remotedir}"
echo -e "${gitignorefile}" > .gitignore # default .gitignore file
git init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin "${masterdir}/${projectname}"
git push -u origin master

#done
echo "----- Locations -----"
echo "Remote branch location: ${remotedir}"
echo "Master branch location: ${masterdir}"
echo "Project Name: ${projectname}"

该脚本只需要一个项目名称。它将在~/Dropbox/git/中生成一个指定名称下的git存储库，并将当前目录的全部内容推送到新创建的origin主分支。如果给出了多个项目名称，则将使用最右边的项目名称参数。

可选地，-r命令参数指定将推送到源主机的远程分支。项目起源主节点的位置也可以用-m参数指定。一个默认的.gitignore文件也放置在远程分支目录中。目录和.gitignore文件默认值在脚本中指定。

我也遇到过类似的问题，并为此创建了一个小脚本。我们的想法是尽可能简单地使用Dropbox和Git。目前，我已经快速实现了Ruby代码，不久将添加更多代码。

该脚本可在https://github.com/nuttylabs/box-git上访问。
