Re: [Discuss] off-topic (?): source-controlling config files

Take a look at git submodules and subtrees. Many folks end up using git submodules, but subtrees are, in some senses, simpler and often suffice. There are a number of good posts online about one versus the other. As is often the case with Git, I’d suggest trying both and see which feels more
