Git integration suggestion

[javierurien]

When implementing git integration, have you considered monitoring for changes in the repository and pulling them automatically to the client/clients and applying the active profile to update the settings?

The use case I imagine is like so:

• I have 2 or more instances of KDE on different computers
• I do some tweaking and save/commit the changes using your tool on system A
• system B detects a change in the repository and pulls the changes
• if changes apply without conflict, refresh profile
• if not, ignore changes and let user solve conflict

Something like this would be awesome!

Sounds like a great idea. However, in order to do this automatically, Konfsave would need a way to start automatically - as a cron job, in the autostart list, as a service unit, etc. I want to have as little dependencies as possible, so the autostart option seems the best so far - however, there are people (like me) who very rarely restart their Plasma session. Any thoughts on this?

I think that if you add a command line switch for this functionality, you let the user decide if he wants a cron job or to do it manually whenever he/she likes to.
