Using shell account profile
Status
vcsh status

This shows you the profiles known to vcsh,
and their state -
e.g. if some settings files contain local changes not tracked.
Update a tracked settings file
vcsh $PROFILE commit $PATH_TO_FILE

As an example,
you have changed the configuration of your email client,
and want to update your profile tracking -
e.g. to distribute that change to your other shell environments.
vcsh mail commit ~/.thunderbird/profiles.ini

The command is a wrapper for git commit ...
and can take ordinary git options, e.g. -m "some commit message...".
Later when you use another shell environment
(or when others in your organisation has done the above)
you can apply those changes here like this:
vcsh pull

In case of collision,
vcsh will warn and you can work it out with git commands,
where git is replaced by vcsh $PROJECT.
