Not long ago when we were discussing etckeeper it sounded like a few people were interested in using version control to maintain files. I have a overboard solution that I use on my work machines, but at home I hadn't really put together anything for maintaining my dot files and other files in my home directory. I just wrote a short guide on how to use git with your home directory. I hope it is useful.
