Hello experienced programmers, I ask for advice regarding my workflow.
I'm writing a lot of small programs to use on a server in order to execute several operations and calculations.
My workflow is to simply open the server, open vim and write the code; then store it directly in a stow directory if it's python or its compiled binary if it's something else.
The more I do this the more I realize this is unsustainable:
- I'm not using git, which is problematic as I often have to come back and make some adjustments.
- I cannot use a different IDE, which I would prefer.
- I don't really have proper personal backups.
The advantage of this, is that I just have to write the code and I can immediately use it.
What I would like is: write the code on my personal computer and seamlessly have the software available in my server ~/.local/bin to be run.
I do not want to have to run rsync 20 times in order to do this.
Do you know how I could set up my system in order to achieve this?
Thank you.
However, that looks pretty close to rsync 20 times, if you have 20 servers, so maybe it's not what you're looking for?
@valhalla No, this is not a good solution to the problem I've got for 2 reasons:
- I have a bunch of stuff in my ~/.local/bin, many of which are binaries and I often add or remove stuff from there. Most of that stuff is not developed by me, thus I don't want that to be in my git repository, moreover this would include whichever libraries I'm using/local environments in my bin directory.
And then, of course I would have to keep committing and pulling every time I edit something.
