Syncing GitHub on Ubuntu and Windows dual boot #24094
-
|
Hi! I recently installed Ubuntu onto my PC as a dual boot with Windows 10. I have been creating a game on Windows and using GitHub Desktop for syncing with GitHub. I have learned how to use Git on Linux and how to push and pull from GitHub from the terminal. Now my game project files are stored locally on a hard drive that is accessible to both Windows and Ubuntu. I can happily work on my game in either OS. However I haven’t yet worked out what the process is syncing up with GitHub. To be safe I have just been pushing updates from Windows via GitHub Desktop. Am I safe to work on the same files in Ubuntu, commit and push them to GitHub via the terminal? When I log back into GitHub Desktop on Windows will it tell me that everything is synced up? I just don’t want to screw anything up! Many thanks! |
