Are you able to share some more info about your setup? How do you handle branches etc over FTP?

My git usage is pretty basic but I've always been a bit uncomfortable about the idea of pushing my code to the "cloud" so would love to learn more.

Not sure if ftp is the most ideal way. That's how it was done in the old days and usually got screwed up with multiple people.

If you have a server with ssh access, you can set up a 'bare' git repo (obviously you should back it up to somewhere else. i.e. s3 as a tar ball) and that should work for you.

Well for personal projects, I have no need for branches really. My commit history (if I were using git) would be entirely linear. So I really just need backup copies of my code at various points in the past, in case I need to revert a file or diff to find a bug. FTP is fine for my purposes, I just tar my code and copy it up to the server.
