I have been reading about
etckeeper, but I can’t work out if you can use it on any other directories other than /etc.There seems to be no reference to /etc in any configuration file (that I can find) so I assue this is hard coded and you can’t chose directories to monitor. Is this true? I’d like to also have it manage /opt. Can this be done?
Answer
It is right there in the man page.
- Create a directory /foo
- Initialize with etckeeper:
etckeeper init -d /foo - Commit apply commits to the directory:
etckeeper commit -d /foo 'message'
But as ErikA mentioned you could just as easily use git or your favorite DVCS directly.
