I've lost everything and I don't know how to get it back. How can I repair my system all I have is a usb with slax linux. I am freaking out because I had a lot of projects on their that I hadn't pushed to github as well as my configs and rice. Is there any way to repair my system? Can I get a shell from systemd?

I also rarely want old versions of my code, but I still use git. A very nice feature, besides the essential backup quality, is to synchronize dotfiles between machines and merge configs together if they diverge.

    I sync them with Syncthing and can also access backups of the old files. I can also merge them with merge tools and create tagged versions with git. Most of the time I don't and I can't think of any instance where I used git to compare an old version with a newer config file. I get why we should version code, but config files for most desktop programs are hardly worth tracking because of the frequent intransparent changes.

    I only track the dotfiles which I actually write, not the generated ones. So it's not so different from code. Desktop programs which generate intransparent config files suck. I only wish there was a good way to synchronize my Firefox using git. I know there is user.js but it all seems like a mess to me.
