TLDR;
I m pushing my whole Documents folder to git.

I m really obsessed with backup. I m using cloud storage, git and multiple disks.
After I got repaired my MacBook in its early times, I saw all the files in TimeMachine were owned by another user, Emre, who was the previous account of mine on Mac, and I pretty shocked and disappointed. I used to expect files will be flown on their old places automatically.
An unexpected visitor in the middle of night stole all devices of my friend, including MacBook, iPad, and iPhones. He was storing all Documents folder in cloud storage. Cool. I Like that. I m doing the same thing but still not relaxed.
So I did, I pushed my whole Documents folder to git. I m pushing projects individually and pushing the folder.
Yes, I love pushing.
Maybe I should delete all project. That sounds relaxing.

I'm using cloud storage too! About using git for pushing docs sounds like a really good idea! I didn't thought about that possibility before! If you are obsessed with backups and security checkout 1Password is amazing!
