Reg. Efficient methods to transfer yocto source file

Hi guys,
So I have been copying and transferring yocto source files into different
partitions to test new features and to have a preexisting working build. I
generally just copy the files and I am aware that this will take a lot of
time. I was looking for an efficient way to transfer the source code as
later I will be transferring the code to my other team members as well. I
copy everything except the tmp directory.

Please share some efficient methods to transfer code.
Also is it good to use GIT to save entire source code?

Regards,
Hassan

We're working to improve sharing of builds (I posted a prototype
recenty), but for now the simplest is to copy sstate cache and
download cache manually: together they will prevent others from doing
full rebuilds. You also need build/conf/ and all the layers of course.
