What is the utility for saving config files?

Question

linux

I read on Habré about a utility for small projects for saving config files in one place with a subsequent upload to github. As far as I remember, the utility monitors changes in config files and allows you to keep the github repository up to date.
Please remember the name.
Thank you.
