This page describes how to keep track of all changes to calendars and address books with git (or any other version control system).

The repository must be initialized by running git init in the file system folder. Internal files of Radicale can be excluded by creating the file .gitignore with the following content:

.Radicale.cache
.Radicale.lock
.Radicale.tmp.*

The configuration option hook in the storage section must be set to the following command:

git add -A && (git diff --cached --quiet || git commit -m "Changes by "%(user)s)

The command gets executed after every change to the storage and commits the changes into the git repository.
