Can Windows 7 automatically maintain a clone of another directory?

Question

I'm working on a Git repo for a client and I want to keep my client repos separate from my Apache htdocs folder. I want to work on the repo files here:

C:\Web\Clients\repolocation

And whenever I save a file there, I want the clone to be updated here:

C:\xampp\htdocs\clientrepo

Is this sort of thing possible?

Answer 1

You may be looking for directory Junctions which is similar to a linux symbolic link. Strictly, it is not 2 copies but the same copy referenced by 2 paths with separate permissions.(similar to how documents and settings points to users)

Answer 2

Try Microsoft SyncToy. It doesn't maintain the copy in realtime, but you can set up a scheduled task to sync them on whatever schedule you like (at logon, every hour, etc.)
