No. I assume that there are multiple hosts which may have changes “in flight”.
This may be a desktop vs. laptop, personal vs. work system, multiple work VMs,
and so on.

See my vcsh hooks at [1]: one hook runs `git config pull.rebase true` on every
repo. Thus any attempt to pull into one of my vcsh managed repos automatically
rebases. So my workflow is generally:
1) `vcsh pull`, to grab any changes on GitHub not on this host. This rebases.
2) `vcsh push`, and done.
It’s really rare that I have any conflicts during rebase. When I do, they
always tend to be trivial. Conflicts most commonly happen because I forgot to
push some important fix from one host and decide to rewrite it on another.
This creates a purely linear history, and I find to be much easier to manage
than per-host repos, IMO. No merging to multiple branches, no complex history.
As for per-host configuration, I use two approaches. First, my zsh setup has
both environment and alias configuration that’s architecture specific from
files under `~/.zlocal/${arch}`, and optionally loads non-version controlled,
this-host-only configuration from `~/.zlocal/this`. Second, I can always
modify the enabled set of vcsh/mr repos on one host. If needed, I’ll add a
host-specific repo if there are changes that really need to be versioned and
isolated (e.g. for a work context).
