etckeeper

store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs

The etckeeper program is a tool to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, bzr or darcs repository. It hooks into APT to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that version control systems do 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.

Installation of latest etckeeper command is available for Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, Arch, Kali, Fedora and Raspbian. You can copy the command for your OS from above and paste it into your terminal.
