So i have vintage story, and it's not exactly on steam. I also have an ever changing list of mods and two gaming computers. I want to be able to have all my files from one update on the other and vice versa. What would be the best way to do this? my first thought was tortoiseSVN but i thought i would check and see if there's a more modern approach

SVN is still awesome and in some ways superior to 2024 solutions. It also excels at some things more than others, just as GIT.

On the "but it's old" thought: Dropbox is a 2007 solution which still lives in 2024, thus living many years. Like Subversion. Oh, and GIT was created in 2005. So...

Don't have the time to detail that now myself, but here's two articles for those who are looking for more than a personal opinion on the topic:

Don't get me started on the Linux kernel😂I hate that argument but it's old on software. If it's still maintained and maybe even actively developed that's way better than a new project
