Graphical user interface
+Control Config (ctrlconf) is GUI for git-etc daemon written on Python2/PyQt4. This application allows you to view a list of commits and changes in files recorded in commit messages. Also, this application allows you to roll back to a specific commit all files (git reset --hard) or individual files (git diff && git apply). And you may merge old and new configuration files (used two branches repository - master and experimental). The application may need root privileges. Make sure that sudo package is installed.
Configuration
+Just run the application and open the settings window from menu!
