I am doing a ruby on rails project in class with a group and want to add extra gems to my app using dropbox.com. I have dropbox on my computer but once I'm in the terminal, I cant connect to my app. cd Dropbox works fine but cd Dropbox/App gets me -bash: App command not found. Can I gain access to the live folder from the terminal? The directory should be Dropbox/App the way it looks on mac but doesn't work.
*Answer One of my buddies just gave me the answer. cd ~/Dropbox/my_app works. The tilde key works on a mac.
This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but dropbox is a really bad way to share a project. Git is made for this and is pretty easy to get setup with. You can use GitHub to create a central repository and add collaborators to it. BitBucket is an alternative to GitHub that offers free private repositories.
