I would be careful of any automated solution. It's possible to get a sync conflict, and either two programs write to the same file and corrupt it, or one decides its version is newer when it isn't, or any number of things.
The safest thing to do would be to designate one of them to play the game, then use a remote tool like steam's remote play so you're actually always only playing on one computer.
You could also link over the network with SMB to share the save location, but that also has conflict problems, because if you forget to close the game after playing for a few hours on the other, and save the first one, you've lost that progress.
If you wanted manual control to avoid that, git honestly isn't a bad option. Plus, you get versioning for free.
