Place online to put anything you want
You use the program "git" ,.....type "git --help" in a terminal, and you can create a structure of Directories and files that will update whatever changes to those files you make on your home computer automatically.

If your repository is made PUBLIC it will be FREE for you .
You have to pay to keep it PRIVATE.
Send all donations to April Cairns Marina -they know me -flowers and chocolates are good. Cash is better. Sometimes even wind is acceptable.
