Most of the examples they give - like package.json - are specific to the project, not the whole operating system. And they are typically checked in to a project’s git directory.
/etc stores system configuration (like the local timezone). They have a very different purpose.
- galleywest200 3y ago/etc/nginx and /etc/httpd are two examples that are prevalent but have nothing to do with a system's configuration.
- regularfry 3y agoDepends where you think the boundary of "the system" is.
- bawolff 3y agoThat's incorrect, those are system config (i.e. how nginx/httpd run on your system). Which is a very different type of config than being discussed here.
