That's why you put your config files in a git repository
Sounds like Nixos with extra steps
What do you mean? My NixOS config files are in a git repository
Even the system files like those in /etc ?
Of course there is. Love it.
I use NixOS btw ;)
Yes. I use a hacky script to copy them to the right place
I do the same thing.
No. I only set up /etc/fstab and /etc/ssh/sshd_config once and they will never change.
Package manager: This package contains an updated sshd_config file, would you like to replace your existing file with the package maintainer's updated file?
Me, every time: LOL, no
Shit, thanks for reminding me. I needed to take care of some pacdiff files
You could set up btrfs snapshots, too. Of course, don't forget to take a snapshot before you break your configs.
Wouldn't you need to use btrfs for that?
How well does btrfs work with full disk encryption?
Works great on my laptop. It takes automatic snapshots before and after running the package manager, no problem so far.
