I have this general project folder of mine which includes a variety of stuff: text, images, binary files etc. I want and need to keep this project in version control under git, so if I mess up something I can revert to a previous version of all files.
One thing inside this project is an Eclipse IDE Java workspace with all it's contents.
My questions is, how can I share this general project including the Eclipse workspace between my Mac OS X and WinXP computers so that pushes and pulls would go as smoothly as possible?
As it is now, whenever I push from e.g. OSX to remote repository and pull from there to my XP machine, the classpaths and stuff goes all wrong again and I need to put down quite an effort to sort things up.
I'd set up the machines to ignore any OS specific information
this can be acomplished with putting a file named .gitignore in the root of the working directory of the repository.
in .gitignore
/path/not/to/share/*
