I want to keep track of my changings in configfiles like "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" or "~/.tmux.conf" and so Normally I create "/root/RCS" and "~/RCS". Then in every directory with configfiles that I want to change I create a symlink ./RCS -> /root/RCS (in the example of sshd_config I will create /etc/ssh/RCS as symlink to /root/RCS. So when I check in sshd_config the revision file goes to /root/RCS When I setup a new machine I can look in the older host's /root/RCS and it shows me which files I have to edit (or better: which files I edited on that host). I am sure that every admin has its own way to do that. But I know that it is always a good idea to listen carefully to more experienced people. That´s why I am asking.
