I put per-user crontab stuff in ~/.cron/ not only cron-specific scripts go there, but ~/.cron/crontab is the (inactive) master copy of the crontab itself. Make changes active with `crontab ~/.cron/crontab` Diff with `diff -du <(crontab -l) <(cat ~/.cron/crontab)` For servers or not-my-own-user crontabs, config management is the way to go. The crontabs should be in a config management repository, so there's not just a single copy that's deployed and active.
