Files to backup when you change the OS

  1. .ssh folder and its contents
  2. .npmrc
  3. .gitignore
  4. .gitconfig
  5. other configuration files under home or users directory
  6. IDE settings (preferably on some private repo)

After change in OS

Put the files back at the same location from where you had copied them. Once you put .ssh folder back. You need not configure git ssh, it would just work normally.
