Any plugins to synchronize two computers with Cura?

[battzilla 1]

I have my work laptop and desktop at home, and at work i'm constantly changing small variables for printing. Is there any way to link the two computers?

You can use Extensions -> Cura Backups -> Manage backups to backup on one computer and restore on the other. But I guess you would like to have something that happens automatically? You could do that by using eg dropbox to sync the Cura configuration folder between the two computers. See Help -> Show configuration folder.

I put all my Cura config stuff in a git repo so that from time to time I can make a snapshot to go back to when the latest Cura decides to trash something (I work  on the bleeding edge). Of course, once the files are in a repo, it's easy to share the repo between computers.

Thanks for the input, I will look into it tomorrow after work.

I currently use GIT, but it's a pain because the order of parameters in a file is not deterministic. So you get big diffs when sometimes there haven't even been any changes. For this to work well, Cura would save its configuration files in a consistent way.

Very good solution, Like that you can also manage files you don't want to save like the log file the compiled python file etc via the .gitignore , Very smart and clever I love it !
