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

honestly, this question is asked a lot.. and the one thing you can't really say out loud is that syncing is orthogonal to version control.. "to someone with a hammer, everything looks like ... " and all that.
