Example

  1. sometimes foobar2000 randomly changes some settings and things break, I don’t want to create duplicates (to save space) instead I want to track changes in it.
  2. Same for chromium.

I say select because I don’t want the imaging solution

    You could use something like Kopia and only include the files you want

        It seems like you’re referring to dotfiles. You can manage these using a git bare repo.

    Could you perhaps solve it by making specific config files read-only?
