So I'm using etckeeper on my machine running Debian 9.1 with KDE and would like to view diffs (or if that isn't yet implemented: past versions) of specific files. How can I do that?
How can I view diffs or at least older versions of specific files with etckeeper?
debian;git;diff;version control;etckeeper
By default, with etckeeper, /etc is a git repository, so you can use git tools to view its contents (and the changes). For example, you can use gitk (after installing it) to browse the repositorys history, and if you want to focus on a specific file, you can specify it on the command line:cd /etcgitk apt/sources.list &Since youre a KDE user, you might find qgit nicer.
