OK, but on the other hand GIT is such a useful habit in all contexts,
not just for LinuxCNC m

I'll run some tests and let you know the outcome.

Best practice: use git (or any other version control system) to handle
configuration files. I use it for stuff like /etc/*
If StepConfig added a warning comment line at the top of custom_postgui.hal
along the lines of
# !!!
# WARNING the contents of this file will be overwritten if StepConfig is
run again

Starting from scratch with a stepper machine I probably would, actually.
But I doubt I will ever be doing that again.

Time stamped bakups would certainly have helped me out. Luckily my file only
had about 20 lines so it will not take long to recreate.

The custom part of the name is misleading and confusing and the name
IMHO should just be postgui.hal. And like Andy I believe once your basic
setup work is done in stepconf you should never run it again and make
custom changes directly to the ini and hal file.

StepConf overwrites any files it is set to create. And it is set to
create custom_postgui.hal, when new config is created.
You can always save that fi

StepConfig overwrites custom_postgui.hal with an empty file. The name 'custom'
suggests it should not.
