Beware of interactions with git and syncthing. It's fine for straightforward repos where all you do is commit but as soon as you start doing more complicated branching and re-basing you will start to generate lots of `sync-conflict` files. I haven't really found a reliable way around this so I've decided to just manually rsync from my desktop onto my laptop when I want to work remotely (or more recently, SSH into my desktop directly instead and work off that).

I have a ~/git folder which I keep bare git repos in and push to.

That gets synced and it's been trouble free so far.
