How to setup Git on a Mac with Windows 8 running i

问题:

I'm wondering what is the best way to setup Git on a Macbook Pro both OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 with Windows 8 Pro in Parallels?

I'm not too sure what is the best work flow. Should I be installing Git on both platforms or should I have all my files stored on one platform and install Git just on that?

The reason why I'm asking is because I intend to use Visual Studio on Windows for school projects and use Sublime Text/XCode to work on web development and iOS apps.

Thanks.

The best practice is to install Git on both workstations, each of them with a full repo.
Ideally, you would push from either workstation to a git repo hosting service like GitHub.

That way:

• you get the full repo (with the full history for all files) on each computer
• you can work on either one of them even without network
• you can save your work on the cloud

The issue can be around setting.
See:

• "File permission issue with Mac/Windows when using git":
  git config --global core.filemode false
• "Git (GitHub): Multiplatform development and autocrlf option?"
  You can set autocrlf to true on OS X as well as on Windows in your case.
  (even though I prefer it set to false)
