A trick you can do to find out individual settings files, is:
~/.config folder, run git init.git add .git commit -m "Initial commit"git status or git diff to see which file got changed.You can then run git restore . and repeat from step 4.
If you're done checking settings, just delete ~/.config/.git/.
Or do something like this, which is simpler, easier on your SSD, and doesn't require installing git:
find ~/.config -mmin -3
That finds files under the .config directory that were modified less than 3 minutes ago.
Ah, neat. I had to come up with my trick, because I wanted to know specifically which line changed to what. That's pretty easy to see with git diff then. But yeah, if you just want to know which files changed, that's certainly saner. 🙃
thanks thats really useful! its amazing how much utility the linux shell has
(thanks both of you)
You're welcome.
BTW, commands like these predate Linux. You'll find them on BSD, macOS, Solaris, and practically every other OS with a Unix heritage.
Edit: You might find this video (or at least the segment I'll link) interesting.
Most of them have the app name in the config file. And the config files are largely human readable. Sort of self documenting.
Why not just back up the whole folder though?
Don't want to backup the whole folder because I only want to keep a few key settings (specifically my taskbar/widgets positions/config) but I guess I will backup whatever I think is probably related.
