Using Git And Synchronize With Dreamweaver

I've been a long-time Dreamweaver user and I've always used the synchronize function, but I've never really used versioning control for websites (I've used them for apps and such).

I work on websites with my work computer and my home computer.

I've never had an issue keeping everything in check, using sync, but I'm getting a lot of conflicts, using sync and git.

Here is an example of my workflow...

Get to work

Synchronize (get things updates from home the previous night)

Git Fetch

Git Pull

Work on stuff

Synchronize as I'm needing to test

Git Commit as I want to capture an eventful change

Git Push

Before I leave work, I'll do one final sync and git

Get home

Recycle the same process

If I Git Fetch/Pull first, Synchronize warns of conflicts and wants me to push what Git just pulled.

If I Synchronize first, Git automatically puts the changed files in a Commit.

Git Fetch shows that Pull needs to occur.

If I Pull, it gives an error...

Error: error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:

{ whatever files have changed }

Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.

Aborting

If I Commit the changes, now I have a Pull and a Push that needs to be done.

If I Pull those changes, it merges, but now I have 2 Pushes.

Those Pushes are successful and Sync shows everything is current.

That just seems like a very awkward way of working.

I thought this was all supposed to make things better.

Is there a better workflow that I should be using?
