Git for config files in etc and local

[arvid]

Hi,

I would like to apply simple version control to parts of checkmk. The existing support is good but limited to a specifik part of the folder structure.

In particular, I would like to git the following:

/omd/sites/x/etc/nagvis/maps
/omd/sites/x/local/share/nagvis/htdocs/userfiles/images

Is it ok to add .git folders in these places in the structure? Would it be better to place .git higher (/omd, /omd/sites, /omd/sites/x, etc).

Thanks for advice.

You could make $OMD_ROOT/local or even the whole $OMD_ROOT directory a git repo and work with .gitignore to exclude non-relevant parts.

But there is no automatic support like with the git integration in the Setup menu.

Robert,

Thanks for the quick and informative reply - exactly what I was hoping for. I just did not want to go adding .gits without checking first.
