I know that I can setup BBEdit to talk to a git repository. Or at least I know 
that in theory.

What I would like to do is setup a git repository for all of the “Unix” files 
that I edit. things like /etc/hosts /etc/postfix/* /Users/*/.bashrc 
/usr/local/bin/* and others so that when I edit my bashrc or a shell script or 
postfix configurations I have a way to roll back to previous versions.

OK.

BUT. I don’t always edit these files with BBEdit. Sometimes it’s because I’m 
already in the shell and “this will only take a second” and others it is 
because I am logged in via ssh.

So, is there a way to setup git so that it basically automatically watches an 
arbitrary list of files and directories and just does its magic in the 
background that would work regardless of if I use BBEdit, vim, text wrangler, 
TextEdit, or whatever?

A bit off-topic, perhaps, but I figure if anyone knows it will be you lot.

Of course, in 10.13 this will all happen automagically through the power of 
APFS, but until then…
