Using git to manage /etc?
I am thinking on a system, where /etc were tracked on a remote git repository. I am thinking on a git workflow, where every host machine where a different branch.

Can users in a group access a file that is in another user’s home directory?
I have 3 users A,B and C inside a group ‘admin’. I have another user ‘D‘ in whose home directory, there is a project folder. I have made D as the owner of that folder and assigned ‘admin’ as the group using chgrp. Group and owners have all the permissions, but still A,B or C are unable to access the folder. I have two question :
How do I get a linux kernel patch set from the mailing list?
I don’t subscribe to the linux-kernel mailing list, but I want to get a set of patches that were posted a few weeks ago and apply them to my kernel for testing. I’m very familiar with patching, building, etc. My question is, what’s the best way to get a copy of this patch set? It’s not applied to any Git repo that I’m aware of, it’s just been posted to the mailing list for discussion.
How do I encrypt git on my server?
Heres the closest I’ve gotten: I installed gitolite in the /Private folder using ecryptfs-utils (sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils adduser git ecryptfs-setup-private then the rest was configuring gitolite using a root install).
SSH git — How to pull a folder from repo, but not delete other directories & files on deployment server
Enter my question: When I SSH into the Linux web server where my website is hosted, how do I perform a git pull origin dev so that git doesn’t delete my entire WordPress site, replacing it with only the folders/files in the repo?
Enable automatic minor core updates when root of site is a git repository
I have a client site that’s under version control using Git. The single repository is at the WordPress root level, but it is set to ignore everything except for theme and plugin files. I did some research into best practices and found some content on submodules, which I might try next time, but at the moment, I’m wondering if there’s a way to achieve both of the following:
Keeping WP database synced across multiple developers using git
I’m working on improving my git workflow as it applies to my WordPress development projects. Often, when developing a content management system, I’ll create a development server (like http://dev.finalsitename.com) containing the custom post types and taxonomies that will be used in the production version. This allows my client to begin adding their content to the site.
Is Git/GitHub a good WordPress deployment solution?
I’m currently developing my WordPress locally, committing my code to GitHub with Git and then SSHing into my server and doing a “git pull” to update my code. Is this a good option for code deployment onto a WordPress site (I obviously have root level access to my server in this case.) I know of things like Capistrano, but would that be overkill for deployment to a WordPress site? How can I make the most of Git/GitHub in this case?
Migrating data between local and development server
I’ve been working away at a medium-size WordPress site. So far I’ve just been hosting the site on my local machine and showing it to internal consultants over our local network. Things are working well, and now it’s time to show it off to the client. I’ve been using git all along, so pushing it to the dev server was a breeze. I duplicated the local DB and pushed it to the dev server manually, which was fairly easy except that I had to manually change a few URL entries.
