How do I trace changes in configuration files?
I'm trying to learn how to set up my two Teres laptops so that they are
identical.
I have now repeated the [first steps] a couple of times so that I feel
that I know what I am doing (I don't necessarily understand what I am
doing though). I have two identical machines that run from two identical
SD cards.
So I'm ready for the next step, configuring some of the programs that
are installed (e.g. shotwell, thunderbird and xfce itself).
I have tried to document my personal preferences before, but I have
always ended up with unreadable handwritten notes.
This time I thought I should do it in a more systematic way by somehow
capture the difference between the default install and the result of my
(often irrational) efforts to make my machines look and feel like I want
it to.
So, is there a way to trace/record/capture changes in all configuration
files?
The idea is then to just replace the default configuration files with
the files where my preferences have been saved.
Thanks for taking time.
