title: Local Git as autosave
body: <p>I would like a local GIT is my home directory to implement autosave to the repository that happens every five minutes. </p>
  
  <p>I have two Questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is this s sane thing to do?</li>
  <li>How does one go about writing a script that implements this functionality for a specified set of directories in the home directory on linux?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>The aim is to capture all the histories all the important files in my home directory automatically without any input from me. I can use this whenever I screw-up.</p>
