> You can also git your /etc of course. You can and you should, in my opinion. However, you really want to use "etckeeper" [0] to do that (as opposed to "maintaining" /etc as a git repo, manually, yourself). --- ETA: Seriously, look over etckeeper's README file [1] and/or man page [2]. Next, go read a couple articles or blog posts that describe "How-To store /etc in a git repository on debian linux" [3]. Then, if you're a sado-masochist, go ahead and actually try it that way for a while. Finally, install etckeeper, spend two minutes setting it up (if your packaging tool didn't do that for you automatically), and almost instantly regain your sanity! --- [0]: http://etckeeper.branchable.com http://etckeeper.branchable.com [1]: http://etckeeper.branchable.com/README/ http://etckeeper.branchable.com/README/ [2]: https://man.archlinux.org/man/etckeeper.8 https://man.archlinux.org/man/etckeeper.8 [3]: http://hyperprog.com/howto/etc-git.html http://hyperprog.com/howto/etc-git.html
