Displaying git informations is completely possible with almost any shell, customizing the PS1 environment variable. You can take a look on this to give you an idea on how to do it: https://github.com/terminalforlife/BashConfig/blob/master/source/.bashrc

You can also install the agent as a Docker container, refer to this repo for more.

This was just a basic example of backing up your files. If you don't fancy writing backup scripts, you can check out my own full and a little enhanced implementation of this backup workflow over here. There is also a VS Code extension for synchronizing your settings called Settings Sync that synchronizes everything for you into a GitHub Gist.
