> I separate file backup and version control. I keep every git repository I'm working on in Dropbox, and don't ever worry about how often I'm committing and pushing.

Motivated by a slightly different use case (seamless syncing across multiple machines), I built a custom tool that solves this concern within `git`: https://github.com/rraval/git-nomad

You can toss `git nomad sync` into a systemd timer (or cronjob if you prefer) and forget about it.
