theme audit log #66

Closed ianklatzco closed 5 years ago

andrewipark commented 5 years ago

put this in a file or something or just upload ThemePrefs.ini and Preferences.ini

ianklatzco commented 5 years ago

this is more like "i want to formally know when shit is changed and why"

andrewipark commented 5 years ago

You could manually write it out in a file, still... alongside explanations and use git blame.

ianklatzco commented 5 years ago

oh, can we track those sorts of changes? i’ve never seen eg theme settings touched by version control, so maybe they’re in the gitignore.

ianklatzco commented 5 years ago

this is dumb and we're never gonna keep it up (i like the idea of version controlling the files than contain relevant theme configs tho and having commits be last "known good states"

makes reverting in case of minor bug easy too

ianklatzco commented 5 years ago

can we version control and just track those two files? symlink them into a git repo in the home directory or something

andrewipark commented 5 years ago

what about that + a crontab entry that creates a commit like every day or something? still we would have to use context clues to figure out why changes were made, but it's better than the current affair which is basically "ddr player pokes at settings.ini until it resembles good"

ianklatzco commented 5 years ago

hmmm that's kinda nice

mostly i just want version control so that we have "known good" states right before tournaments and can revert directly to them. we had an issue once during a tournament.

a crontab script seems a little overengineered to solve that problem.
