Gitdocs is an open-source Dropbox alternative built with Ruby and Git that automatically syncs directories across clients by pushing and pulling git changes. It includes a web front-end so any synced git repository can be browsed as a file share, task list, or wiki.
Use cases
- sync a folder across machines using git instead of dropbox
- self-hosted file sharing for a small team
- share a collaborative task list via a git repo
- turn any git repo into a team wiki with browser access
- keep documents in sync between unix workstations
When to choose
- you want a simple, self-hosted, git-based file sync on macOS or Linux
- your team already uses git hosting and wants free private syncing
- you prefer plain files in git over proprietary cloud storage
When to avoid
- you need Windows support, which is half-baked
- you need an actively maintained tool with recent releases
- you want real-time sync with conflict resolution like modern sync tools
