I would love to know more about your setup and interaction with git.
Have you written about it anywhere?

If not, could you please just let me know about:
- Do you have any script to push the changes into a server when you
logout?
- Any elisp to pull the changes from the server during startup?
- Do you have a git project called gnus that you use? I assume you also
use git to keep track of .emacs for example. Do you then have a
different git project just for the .emacs?

Cheers,
