and we do it at work because it makes things easier in the long run!
great idea to do some of this stuff at home too.

When you do it for work, you log what you have changed each time you make a change to try to fix it, and you log what you revert, so you can keep track of what worked and what didn’t and have a clearer idea of what the solution was.

I made a self-hosted forgejo repository of /etc. Commit messages aren’t always informative, and I’ve never actually gone back to the repository to figure something out, but it’s there, just in case. Me cosplaying a sysadmin.

Yeah, same here ! Can’t believe how useful it is to have a git repo to keep track of changes, even as a non coder/sysadmin.
Simple pull/push commands and I’m now able to keep track of my bash scripts and specific .dot/config files.
To bad there isn’t a way to keep side notes a la Obsidian. Comments in the code are okay, but sometimes I wan’t to breakup the whole command with some notes to get a better understanding !
