synchronizing code between multiple work spaces (aussie.zone)

I'm a hobbyist and butcherer of python code. Quite often i'm jumping between multiple laptops / desktops playing around with different projects. Just wondering what the best workflow is or suggestions people have around syncing projects so I can edit and work on projects regardless of the computer. Is this something that people generally manage through github?? Thanks in advance for the thoughts!

Git. Git git git.
If it is text and can be modified from multiple places, should have a single "main" branch and feature work done independently on separate "branches". Or even just a "back this up".
Git.

Git is text based version control (tho it will do binary file, just not elegantly).

So yeh, git.
GitHub is easy to host on, but owned by Microsoft and is somewhat proprietary (by the time issues and other enhancements GitHub provides), but at the end of the day it is git with authentication and is on the ol "cloud".
Plenty of ways to replicate this if it's just for you

Thanks for your reply, I definitely have to look up the best practices for git storage / branches etc as I have no idea. Pretty keen to distance myself from Microsoft where able.
