List configuration file revisions from Git#

This command lists revisions of configuration files stored in the Git repository under /etc/.git. By default, if you do not pass any other options, it shows the latest revision of files under the Virtualmin /etc/webmin/virtual-server configuration directory.

Use --module to limit the search to a single Webmin module, such as virtual-server or fsdump. When a module is selected, each --file value is treated as a path relative to that module directory. Without --module, file paths are treated as relative to /etc, unless you provide an absolute path.

The --file option may be given more than once and can point at a single file, a directory, or a glob like domains/*. By default the command shows only the most recent revision, but --depth can be used to display older revisions as well.

Examples#

View the latest revision of the Virtualmin module configuration:

virtualmin list-config-revisions

View the latest revision of the main Virtualmin config file:

virtualmin list-config-revisions --module virtual-server --file config

View the last two revisions of /etc/hosts and /etc/fstab:

virtualmin list-config-revisions --file hosts --file fstab --depth 2
