This looks fine to use, but considering you can a achieve the same with a git repo and a 20 line bash script to make the symlinks[0], it seems to me precisely the kind of thing beginners should learn to do themselves rather than trust the magic and assume there’s something complicated going on they couldn’t understand. The fact that all of the commands are the same as the underlying git commands is probably better than the alternative (a bunch of random stuff) but it also makes clear you could do the same with git directly.
