Vendang, I'd recommend the peepcode screencast if you're finding git intimidating. Despite the scary command-line interface, it's actually a very friendly app when you get to know it :)

Git works with directories and will only track files inside those directories. You can use a .gitignore file to tell git which files in the directory it should be managing, so you could use that to exclude all files apart from your .emacs file. Make sense?

This is my first experiment with version control systems, and your article is simple to follow and interesting. I found Git a bit intimidating though!

P.S Quick question. How do I track a file outside the repo? I actually installed git because I wanted to keep my .emacs file under version control.

Yep, I thought it was still too immature on Windows, but you made me download and install it.

Experimenting now.
