Turns out LLMs are basically experts at git - with agentic AI you don't even need to worry about gitting yourself
(gitting yourself sounds ominous)
LLMs know how to use git, but with agentic AI, they can actually run them on your machine. You just need to install git locally, and it can then initialize a repo for you (or you can do it yourself) and keep version control with commit history. I don't know every interface but on crush it asks before running a command for the first time so if you notice it somehow trying to delete stuff in the repo you can deny permission.
I don't know if anyone wants an explanation of git/version control but with it you basically can roll back to any earlier version of your files. We're used to seeing repos on github but you initialize a repo locally on your machine and you never have to upload it anywhere. So even for local projects and even non-coding projects (like if you're writing a book) you can commit every edit to the git and revert to any earlier commit at any point in time. Technically you can make private repos on codeberg or github but they're not truly 'private', they're not encrypted or anything. But that could let you keep an off-site backup.
Anyway no need to make this too long. It's good practice to keep backups of your edits, even if you're not working on code, so install git before starting to use agentic AI if you haven't already, and let it commit everything it edits.
