## What it is
git-o-matic is a Go CLI tool that monitors local git repositories and automatically pulls, commits, and pushes changes on a configurable interval. It supports SSH key and username/password authentication and lets you toggle pull, push, and commit behavior independently.

## Use cases
- automatically commit and push changes in a git repo
- keep a git repository synced between machines
- monitor a folder and auto-commit new files to git
- periodically pull changes from a remote git repository
- use git as an automatic backup mechanism
- auto-sync notes or dotfiles via git

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, set-and-forget git sync daemon
- you need automatic commits for files changed by other tools
- you prefer a simple single-binary CLI over cron scripts

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained commit messages or review before committing
- you require merge conflict resolution or multi-branch workflows
- you need an actively developed tool with recent releases

## Facets
