    Just wondering if anyone else is switching their dev between a Mac desktop and their shiny MBP?

    I’ve got MAMP Pro setup on my desktop and use that for all my local development but I was just wondering how people (if they do) manage switching between machines.

    I’d like to use the MBP pro out on site with clients and not have to rely on finding a wireless connection or having to plug it into their network. So I’m really looking at syncing (via rsync maybe) my htdocs folds and my mysql db folders so they are available on both machine.

    Does anyone else using something like this? Is it a manual sync that you just do when you know you need to update stuff or is it automated? Anything else I should look out for?

    Ideally it would be great if the MBP could sync up whenever it is attached to my local network at home automatically and that the syncing is bidirectional so if I was to do some development while I’m out with the client it will be updated back to my desktop db.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.
