This lets you use git to review or +revert changes that were made to `/etc`. Or even push the repository +elsewhere for backups or cherry-picking configuration changes. + +It hooks into package managers like apt to automatically commit changes +made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that git does +not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the +permissions of `/etc/shadow`. + +It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if you +understand the basics of working with version control. + <html> <video controls width=400 title="introduction to etckeeper by Francois Marier" src="https://downloads.kitenet.net/videos/etckeeper.ogv"></video> </html> -[[!inline raw=yes pages="README"]] - [[!sidebar content=""" +[[README]] [[install]] [[news]] [[todo]] |
