Package settings files like php.ini, nginx.conf etc needs a record. Normally, all keeps multiple backups of these files.

Manage Configuration Files on Cloud Server : Master Git

 

Not properly mastering git can make the situation pathetic. There are lot of free resources on this web on using git. Make sure that you really can handle the needed setup. If GitHub repo (read as remote git server) is public, you should be more careful to use proper name of the repositories for the production servers. The cloud server that already has modified configuration files is the seed machine. This is the source where the configuration files will originate and go to the remote git server. You will clone to your local computer. In this way, you can pull from another server too.
