Have a look at etckeeper.

I've been using that for several years now on a variety of machines.
The log for the machine I'm writing this on goes back all the way to its
initial install on 2017-01-11 of Devuan's Jessie Official Beta2 :-)

You may want to keep your sensitive /etc/ files out of the repository
though, depending on your level of paranoia.

Hope this helps,
