I use Unison File Synchronizer. The main difference with rsync is that it’s bidirectional. This is useful because you can build in the server or in your development machine. It also has a watch mode so that as soon as you save a file in your editor it’s syncrhonized with the server. You should exclude the .git directory from the syncronization. But you can pull from a repository in both machines and it recognizes that the same changes were made in both very fast. It works flawlessly.
