How live do you need it to be?

Option 1: totally manual. If there's only one or a few files,
this works well.

$ cp foobar.txt foobar.txt.20190116; edit foobar.txt


Option 2: version control system.

  Setup:
    git init
    git add foobar.txt

  Working:
    edit foobar.txt
    git commit foobar.txt -m "drew a new line"

  Review:
    git status foobar.txt
    git log foobar.txt


Option 3: you already use vim, right?

Option 4: you already use emacs, right?
    https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoSave

Option 5: you like using gedit, right?
    preferences => editor  ; turn on autosave, specify the
    period

Option 6: you like using geany, right?
