Using Github Thru Dropbox

I am working on a simple rails app and am also using github for SCM.

Though installing msysgit and accessing github worked fine initially, i was not able to push my app later. The problem was my corporate network that did not allow me to upload data more than a KB. . A simple search in google i found out how to use git in dropbox .

here’s the how to i skimmed from stackoverflow
