Description

Motivation
I keep my dotfiles in a local directory on my filesystem, using Git to version-control them. I would like to include my userscripts in that local directory and have them synced to/from Violentmonkey.

Proposed Solution
An additional "Sync to" option that supports syncing to a directory on the local filesystem.

Use Cases
Mentioned above.
