I've started to tinker with it. "auto commit everything" is an absolute deal-breaker for me. There's no world in which I want every file I create to be added to source control without asking. I create lots of log files and other temp files when I work. Maybe I just fetched some .json from a service and put it in tmp.json? Maybe I created a small shell script to automate something I'm doing? I guarantee I'm going to end up pushing that shit upstream by accident at some point.

You might be able to put them into .gitignore. But why not keep the shell script in a tools folder?
