cfgkeeper is a bash script that stores your con­fig­u­ra­tion files in a revision control system like git or mercurial. I like the idea of etckeeper. It's a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a source code repository. But I dislike two aspects, first to place the repositoy in /etc and the second to have no revision control outside of /etc.

Therefore I wrote a small bash script called cfgkeeper, which is able to put each file under revision control and to place the repository in con­fig­urable location. Fur­ther­more you can easily extend this script to get your favorite revision control system to work.

READ.ME, install the script and keep your files save. Sug­ges­tions and patches are welcome.
