    What about a separate GitHub branch where you commit the files in whatever state they are? Commented Sep 21, 2019 at 22:14
  • Can't tell if your issue is that you have to recreate the session you left or that you keep forgetting to save your code before walking away. If you developed it all on a shared folder would it fix your problem? Commented Sep 21, 2019 at 22:26

    Just curious: do you have equivalent development tools and environments on Windows and Linux, so you could simply check in the files to a git server (or GitHub) on one system, check them out on the other and continue your work immediately? Commented Sep 21, 2019 at 22:32

    Why do you need to switch between multiple machines multiple times throughout the day? Can't you just set one machine as your development environment and the other setup only as a testing environment? Would using KVM switch so you can share one keyboard and mouse for two machines be suitable? Commented Sep 21, 2019 at 23:22

    What build system do you use? How about a SMB share or NFS share? Also, what is the typical scale of code changes (e.g. couples of lines, or hundreds of lines) you make for each time you switch between the two OSes? Commented Sep 22, 2019 at 6:06
