Dura is a Rust background daemon that watches Git repositories and automatically commits uncommitted changes to shadow branches without touching HEAD, the current branch, or the index. It acts as a safety net so you can recover lost work from any point in time using ordinary Git commands.

Use cases

• automatically back up uncommitted git changes
• recover work after a crash or bad reset
• snapshot repository state continuously without committing
• undo hours of edits without relying on editor undo
• protect against losing days of work in git repos

When to choose

• you use Git and fear losing uncommitted work to crashes or mistakes
• you want automatic snapshots that don't interfere with your normal Git workflow
• you prefer a lightweight native tool over editor-specific undo history

When to avoid

• you need per-repo auto-watch configuration out of the box (repos must be watched manually)
• you want a GUI or polished recovery workflow (recovery is manual Git commands)
• you don't use Git for your projects
