Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
The ability to specify a upstream git repository for managing configuration versioning.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
Currently, the workaround is to manually initialize a git repository in the esphome data directory, and to either manually trigger a git add/git push after updates are performed, or to setup a cron job to invoke a script to check in changes to a git repository.
Ideally- this proposed feature, would enable some basic git integration, to automatically push changes to a upstream git repository. As a future goal, the ability to see previous version directly via the esphome UI would be nice too.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing ESPHome configuration-management UI and the data-directory workflow, then determine the scope for specifying an upstream Git repository and automatically pushing updates; done should include documented repository configuration and reliable push behavior.
