Sometimes while working on Linux servers we need to take backup of config files, traditional way of taking backup is to copy the same file with different name or insert some characters at end that file. But using Git we can easily manage the backup of configuration files. In this post we will demonstrate how this can be achieved using Git. I have done below testings on CentOS 7 & RHEL 7.
