I keep my stuff in git too, but recently I have found Dropbox very 
useful. Once I discovered how to install it on my server it meant that 
all my config files were automatically kept in sync on my computers. in 
fact Dropbox is still great even if you don't run your own server.

Git is still very useful for letting you easily go back if you make a 
mistake, or want to start over again from an earlier version.
