I would consider ~~three~~ four approaches.
1. Commit and push manually and deliberately
I commit changes early and often anyway. I also push regularly, seeing the remote as a safe and remote (as in backup) baseline and reference state.
The question would be: Do I switch when I'm still exploring things in the workspace, without committing when switching or moving away from it, and I would want those on the other PC? Then this would not be enough.
2. Auto-push all local git references into a separate space on the git remote
Git branches are refs, commit pointers, just like other refs are. And they can be put under arbitrary paths.
refs/heads/
holds branches. I can replicate and regularly update all my branches underrefs/pcreplica/laptop/*
. And then on the other PC, list or fetch those, individually, or all of them, regularly automatically, or manually.3. Auto-push the/a local branch like you suggested
my concern here would be; is only one branch enough? is only the current branch enough?
4. Remoting into the other system
Are the systems both online? Can I remote into / connect into it when need be?
