Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

In the user preferences you can now set a repository for your dotfiles, which is great, but when you put in your desired dotfiles repository and you click Save Changes, it makes you question if you need to use this button for all settings (it really doesn't, I checked). It is the only setting that does not autosave after the user makes a selection and that makes it look like the button below it should be used for all preference changes the user initiates.

Describe the behavior you'd like

It would probably make sense to separate the different sections of the preferences page (maybe add some horizontal rules) and/or change the text of the button to something more indicative of the setting which is actually saved or maybe even borrow something from GitHub's repository settings and add make the button appear a horizontal flexbox with the text input:

Describe alternatives you've considered

Autosave, but that would not be ideal, ever, maybe only after an onpaste event.
