configs2git

Copies selected configs to Git or Hg repository. It is better than track entire /etc with tons of garbage.

Example:

Prepare once:

echo '
/boot/grub/grub.cfg
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/
/etc/fstab
/etc/group
/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/rc.local
/root/.ssh/
' > myconfigs.lst

git init myconfigs

Do periodically:

configs2git myconfigs.lst myconfigs/

Mercurial support

When script is named as configs2hg, it tries to use Mercurial instead of Git.

Todo

• support wildcards
• helpers for OpenVZ and LXC
