I’ve been considering rsync
I need to run git operations from a laptop (on a vpn) but I can’t build from the laptop, I can only build from a host that is only accessible on the vpn.
So I can only git pull / git push from the laptop, but I can only build / run / test from a remote host.
Linux on both sides. What’s the best solution here?

If you can SSH into a remote host, you can git push to it directly from your laptop.
-
Why can you not run git on the server? If it's a credential thing, you can forward it through the SSH connection.

It authenticates with a yubikey.

Yes, rsync is a good choice

Detach the laptop's head, then
git clonefrom it over SSH on your build server. When you're done,git pushwill update your laptop's branches, then you cangit push originthe relevant branches on your laptop.-
I can’t run git operations on the server.

What network topology do you have? My method only assumes server→laptop connectivity (laptop→server and laptop→repo are implied). If server→laptop is unavailable, but you can install Git in general on the server, you could forward the repo through SSH. If Git cannot be installed server-side at all, this is more difficult, and rsync would be the best method I know of.
