[solved] Importing only changed config files, viable?

[madsem]

I just completed my first OpenWrt install, and super happy with it.
Now I was thinking, it might be a good idea to export the config from LuCi, make a github repository from the files that I've customized (Without secrets of course).

Then whenever I want to re-install, or set up another router I could just clone my repository, fill in all the secrets, make a tar.gz and import it.

My question now is, as long as I keep my customized files in the same locations i.e /etc/config/....
Will it be a problem if I import this through LuCi, without ALL of the other files that are usually in a backup?

I.E: Only the config files, hotplug and so forth.

My hope is that LuCi would just overwrite the files I'm importing, and not touch the rest. Or will I get into trouble doing it this way?

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible to restore only specific files if you preserve the backup archive structure and format as well as file ownership and access permissions.
