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, -- PMatos
