git-monitor: Passively snapshots working tree changes efficiently.

[ bsd3, development, program ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

A utility that passively monitors your Git working tree and periodically creates snapshot commits of any changes. This is useful for creating a detailed history of your work during development sessions, allowing you to recover any intermediate state. Run git monitor in your project directory before starting work, and snapshots will be saved to refs/snapshots/refs/heads/$BRANCH. Supports both regular Git repositories and Git worktrees.
