|
|
|
|
|
allows you to instantly sync with any Git repository you have access to.

SparklePony isn't just a piece of software, it's part of your workflow. It's
|
|
|
|
|
designed to make sharing documents and collaboration easier, and to make peers
|
|
|
|
|
aware of what you are doing. The user interface and features are made to
|
|
|
|
|
support this goal. However, you may find SparklePony useful for other kinds of
|
|
|
|
|
purposes as well, like backing up files or monitoring your favourite project.

2010-04-30 00:28:54 +00:00

|

In contrast to the projects name, we will very likely
|
2010-04-29 22:50:07 +00:00
|
|
|
refuse to implement your personal ponies. :)
