On my linux machine beyondCompare's settings are stored in ~/.config/bcompare. I would like to share these between my different machines. Can I:

  • Create a git repo in ~/repos/bcompareSettings
  • Move the contents of ~/.config/bcompare to ~/repos/bcompareSettings
  • Symlink ~/.config/bcompare to ~/repos/bcompareSettings
  • Push/Pull the git repo periodically and share it among different machines?

  • Settings are mostly XML. The recommended method to share settings is with the Tools > Export Settings and Tools > Import Settings commands. Copying the config folders outside of Beyond Compare also works to transfer settings, so the git method you propose might work, although I've never tried it. – Chris Kennedy Aug 18 '16 at 14:12
