Using Version Control For Your /etc Directory With etckeeper And Bazaar On Debian Squeeze
This tutorial explains how you can store the contents of your /etc directory in a version control system (VCS) with the help of etckeeper
on Debian Squeeze.
I heard once that in linux it's possible to put whole /etc/ directory into repository. In fact i already done too much crap on server and I quite disoriented what exactly is setup in there at all.
Question is how to put freebsd all configuration files under Revision Control?
Is there's any solution for that like packages which helps to automatize this?
I use etckeeper for changes in my configfiles (on debian squeeze)
Since I also have an ircdeamon running, there are some files, that change every minute in the folder
/etc/hybserv/
I don't want to version control them anymore, so i added
hybserv/*
to the end of
/etc/.gitignore
but they are not ignored! They keep showing up every hour in the hourly commit.
what am I doing wrong?

Fossil is a distributed version control system, bug tracking system and wiki software server for use in software development created by D. Richard Hipp.
Fossil is a cross-platform server that runs on Linux, Mac and Windows.
We are planning to introduce version control for our servers team so we can keep our config files and code neat.
The server base are mostly Windows with some Linux and spread across several continents.
Since the main purpose of the project is to take control ( no pun intended) over config scripts spread and keep configfiles neat.
I am wondering if there are some existing best practices for struct
What is Git ?
git is a distributed version control system, developed by Linux Torvalds during the development/management of Linux Kernel.
In other words, it’s a software, a tool, that simply keeps track of the different version of the files, so that in case if you did something wrong, you can easily go back to some previous (correct) version of the file.
The purpose of the version control s
I set up etckeeper and added the file /etc/etckeeper/commit.d/60github-push in order to push the commit to github.
[orschiro@thinkpad etc]$ sudo cat /etc/etckeeper/commit.d/60github-push
#!/bin/sh
set -e
if [ "$VCS" = git ] && [ -d .git ]; then
cd /etc/
git push origin master
fi
However, pushing to github fails as etckeeper tries to push as root.
GIT is the source control tool, a distributed version control system (dvcs) which is written in C. This provides a history of the files that are maintained by it. In distributed version control each...
