Git advice/tips for Ubuntu & remote server?

[eluser]2think[/eluser]
I'm posting in Ignited Code because it seems a lot of the devs in here are uber-advanced (and of course, I'm definitely uber-slow! :-S

Trying out a lot of Auth libs, I noticed quite a few files to some of them and wondered if anyone has setup a Git repository on their dev machine? Right now, I can SSH easily into my Fedora but is this making sense? Or am I way off the mark?

Fedora_server:
/siteA/www
...app
...ci
...public
.....index.php
.....js
/siteB/www/public
(similar to A)

Ubuntu_dev:
.../home/user/websites
...../siteA (rsync here ?)
...../git_siteA (???)
