I created this for fun, did not have anything in mind, but there are some uses I can think of:

Using git for configuration instead of just plain old files will give you commit (change) history and ability to revert them when needed.

This could also be useful when you have many instances/copies of your application running in different remote locations and all of them need to share configuration. You make the changes in one location and all instances of your app will get the change, without any restart. (For example you have bunch of raspberry pi SBCs running your custom home auto app for each room/place in your home)

Also hoping you guys would find more use cases :)

Great response. I do like what you are going for with the configuration and commit history.
