what do I need to learn to do this task?

[Justinas Urbanavicius]

well i agree about the advantages of using SCM instead of synchronizing.

One last though, why don't you use a thumb drive, clone the source files in
it, plug it in on desktop, do your work, then plug it in on notebook,
continue your work, do commits as you please when you think it's right :)
No network, no pushing or pulling, and you can push or pull from either
computer to and from your bitbucket cloud :)
