autogit saves local history automatically using git. It watches current directory, and git commit when something changes. autogit let you keep local history without IDE.
autogit require fswatch. AFAIK, it works only for OS X, so autogit supports only OS X.
brew install fswatch
pip install autogit
Go to your project directory. It should have .git directory.
autogit watch
Then it create new branch named autosave and commit when git status changes. If you want to stop watching, press CTRL+C
You can manually create savepoint.
autogit savepoint
Actually, autogit watch is same as this:
fswatch . "autogit savepoint"
I guess you can do the same using inotify in linux.
- Portable watch command.
- Easy commands to merge savepoint commits to master branch.
