Tracking changes to my Git configuration?

Question

Is there a canonical way to track changes to my git configuration?

Context: A coworker and I are comparing our various git settings, both global and per-repo, and we would like to see the various changes we have both made.

Answer 1

You could store your Git (and other) configuration files in a dedicated Git repo and then symlink them to their usage locations.
