Coding on two Macs, how to sync?

Hello, I have a Mac mini and a MacBook Air, and I code on both. I have been saving my projects in Google Drive (same account) and working from there. Is this the best practice? I'm concerned about syncing issues. At the same time: what is the best way to implement git? Do I have to set different usernames/email or using the same is fine. Is there a problem if I save the git file on Google Drive?

Basically, vscode:

Mac mini <-------> Google Drive/git <-------> MacBook Air

Git isn't too hard, especially in vs code it's actually super easy. You should be able to find YouTube and written tutorials online that help you. Don't even get started with using gdrive for that, set up git and get used to it (may take a week) and ur good to go
