My latest Mac Development workflow

Continuing my journey of setting up a casual software development environment on my Mac, I spent most of my time today messing with XCode 4.4, following the "First Mac App" tutorial on Apple web site, and making sure that any code I created are:

  • Version controlled
  • Fully backed up AWAY from my development machine.
I encountered my first hiccup when I tried to use a network drive as the development directory.  While the code compiles, I have serious problem committing changes to the git repository.  Obviously this is NOT the right way to develop.

Then I tried to copy that folder to a local but external hard disk, and found that the problem still exist.  Obviously, something has already been corrupted.

So I decided to incorporate cloud solution.  I created a Google Drive account and set the local location to the same external drive I used before.  Then I create a new project in the Google Drive folder.  This time, the commit seemed to work.

I will continue to keep changing, to make sure that the version control and backing up to the cloud really works.
