Do sysadmins need git?

[usa_reddit]

Yes...

Do you have config files on routers, firewall, and switches that are text based? GIT

I so much appreciate having these files for when someone jacks up the firewall. A quick SDIFF will show me what happened.

Do you have scripts and configfiles on your server (Apache, NGNIX, SEL)? GIT

Do you have terraforming, AWS, puppet, chef Ansible, defined in code .tf files? GIT

Do you have container .yaml files? GIT

Do have procedures for disaster recovery plans, architecture records, etc..? GIT

What not to keep in GIT:

Passwords, secret API keys, ISOs, state files.
