I'd recommend installing something like CRM Developer Extensions as an addon to your Visual Studio. This will provide you with templates for your extensions and allow you to publish Web Resources and assemblies directly to CRM from Visual Studio.

However for development purposes, it isn't necessary to keep files such as Web Resources synchronised the whole time. I'd recommend only synchronising them once they've been tested and are ready to be deployed, even just to a sandbox CRM Organisation.

Instead, when developing Web Resources, you can debug them using Fiddler. Read this blog post on how to set up Fiddler's AutoResponder for CRM.
