Web AppBuilder and Git

What's the best practice for running WAB dev ed with Git for development purposes? I am running an app on localhost and am encountering odd issues with my Git repo being deleted.

Git repo is tracking changes in `.\arcgis-web-appbuilder-2.10\WebAppBuilderForArcGIS\server\apps\23\widgets`

*edit

It appears that this happens when I enter the "Configure App" mode, make some changes, and hit save. I am guessing WAB writes the new settings to the config file and "updates" the widget folder?
