Syncthing (https://syncthing.net) is also a very powerful peer-to-peer backup and synchronization system. The advantage of using Syncthing is that you do not need an external hosting service – the way you do with Git. However, there are some notable disadvantages (listed below) and hence we recommend Syncthing to be used only in case of a few known individuals working together in an office. We do NOT recommend that you use Syncthing for everyone in the office.
This is how you can setup Syncthing to work with Git Winch
will document this soon
Disadvantages of Syncthing
There is no commit, push, pull, etc when you work on a folder managed by Syncthing. Whatever that is done on such a folder will get 'synced' to the same folder that is present in other users' respective folder. That means if someone decides to delete a file, then practically immediately the same file would get deleted in others' folders too. (You can mitigate this issue by asking Syncthing to preserve versions)
It currently does not have an easy way to detect if a sync has got complete in an automatic manner. So one cannot automatically call a build process – something that is easily possible after a git push
