I'm more of a "stick everything in Dropbox/OneNote" kind of person myself, as it gives seamless syncing of my Org files between multiple devices. For various reasons I've been relying on that much less recently, so I'll reconsider the git approach.

Yes, I do the same, I use Resilio. I thought about switching to Syncthing, but my NAS supports Resilio out of the box, so I kept using it. I let my .git folder to be synced between devices and I never actually pushed anything to a "proper" git forge - I can't think of a practical use case for pushing my notes to GitHub/Gitlab.

My git-autocommit technique only for tracking unforeseen changes - I was using Orgzly on Android, and one day I tried using its sync feature and it borked up a bunch of my notes, creating duplicate files, etc. I didn't like that.
