How use a single project file in Xcode (in several computers)

I code on 2 different computers with different username. Xcode makes a .pbxuser file for each one, making necesary replicate the config from each one.

This is error prone, and the files are not diff-friendly so everything must be carefully checked. Any way to avoid this?

When I have Xcode projects I might have to work on on multiple computers, I just have my project live on Dropbox. Then it's in the same folder on any computer I might use to work on it, and the changes get synced every time files are modified. That way I'm literally working on the exact same project on each computer.

the .pbxuser file does contain custom executables in there. So if you use a custom executable as a unit test runner, (or some other executable) you might have to share that file

The info in the .pbxuser file is not particularly important - it's just personal settings like window locations, breakpoints, etc. All the important stuff is in project.pbxproj and this is the only file you need to sync/back up/check into source control/etc. You can ignore or even delete the other files in the .xcodeproj directory - they will get re-created with default settings.
