Linux Server Configuration and Setup History Repository

.bashrc

# binit - new backup repository
# bcom <filename> - backup file to git repo keeping path
# bex <command> - execute command and log the command to history
#
# Add this to .bashrc then use the above commands. Still does not work as well as ansible I presume.
