Why would I use Dropbox *and* Git for my Emacs initialization file?
- by Michiel Borkent
I hear a lot of Emacs users have their init file under git version control and sync the git repository over Dropbox, when they run Emacs on multiple systems.
Why would you use git in this situation exactly?
Usually checking which system you're on and which things to load and set depending on that can happen in one and the same init file for all systems, right?
So, isn't it simply enough to put your init file in a Dropbox directory and load that one directly from Emacs then?
