Do you need to use Git or is that a choice? If it is a choice, then I recommend you to use Dropbox and Firefox.
As a newbie TW learner and self-study semi-developer, I break my wiki a lot with different mistakes. But, Dropbox saves me every time. 1. I use Google Chrome as my default browser. 2. In Firefox, I set all my TW wikis as home pages. In setting, I update it so that every time I launch the app, my wikis will be opened. (You can customize here what to open.) 3. I have TiddlyFox extension in Firefox which will track any tiddler changes except TW wiki's option changes, which you can click check-mark icon and save manually. 4. My Wikis are located in Dropbox folder on my computer, and I let the Dropbox extension to run in background to sync itself. 5. Every time, I make a changes to the file, Dropbox will save the versions. (I am sure it does save every time I change while I am connecting to the internet. While I am offline, I don't know if Dropbox would sync the latest version available or the whole version history.) 6. If I want to go back to previous version, I just do it on dropbox.com or on my phone. 7. Problem solved! I hope this helps in case Git is not a requirement for your wiki. Even though I don't use multiple computers, the idea would be the same with Dropbox's background sync feature. I know sometimes, it takes time to sync files but it is fast enough for me so far. Once my wiki gets large enough for the sync feature to take time, I am planning to adopt the Dropbox sharing feature for Tiddlywiki as mentioned on TW website <http://tiddlywiki.com/#Sharing%20a%20TiddlyWiki%20on%20Dropbox>, which might be able to serve the very purpose too. However, both the above solutions need Internet connection to work as intended. P.S. This is the best solution for myself, but I am just a newbie. So, there might be a better way to do it. I am willing to learn and be corrected if I am wrong.
