Except you also get a better history (assuming you write good commit messages), and it's all in the same folder.

You could also use git-send-email to make a mailing "list" with just yourself, and that way make it much easier to move between machines as you work. Or if you don't trust your email hosting provider, self host gitea or sourcehut (or have the option to later).

Finally, you also get the ability to better organize development with branches.

I don't even know git that well and came up with that off the top of my head.
