Appreciate the feedback. I was hoping that some others would chime in with their own best practices for using git in this way so that others could benefit.
I believe the key is careful coordination: syncing down everything before local changes are made and making sure you are not making changes across machines “simultaneously”.
The last one can be tricky because simultaneous in sync terms doesn’t just mean that the actions happen simultaneously in “real time”. The delays in pushing changes can be quite dramatic if the system is offline, or odrive is not running, for example. If a change is made on the 1st system and that change is not brought down, in its entirety, on the 2nd system before changes are made locally on the 2nd system you will start hitting issues.
