I keep my personal dev folder in Dropbox so I don't have to worry about lost work since it always syncs to the cloud. My work dev folder uses syncthing to a remote server for the same purpose. I make my own branch and then do checkins when I get to good stopping points. Then I do git squash merges to staging or the group branch when I have nice small updates. Keeps the public history clean and also lets me revert back to the previous stopping point, while not being worried about lost work.
