Syncing your configs with GitHub
I've automatically synced the configs on the server with this repository. Therefore, any changes to this repository will automatically be reflected on the server the next time the server restarts.
You can do this for your client, too. That way you're always bleeding-edge when it comes to the config files. First, you'll need to install Git or GitHub Desktop. Git is a CLI-based program, while GitHub Desktop has a handy GUI. I personally use GitHub Desktop for my home computer, but I use Git on the server. I'm going to assume you want to use GitHub Desktop.
Download GitHub Desktop.
Now, you're going to want to clone this repository. There is a guide. Once you clone the repository, it will download the whole repository into the folder you specify. Even if you point it right at your minecraft directory, it will create a new subdirectory named after the repository; Wanderlust-Renewed in this case. That's fine.
Now, open up that folder. Make sure you can view hidden folders and files, because you want to move that hidden file to your Minecraft directory. Specifically, the hidden directory, ".git", is the one you want to move.
Once that is done, you can delete the rest of the subdirectory.
Go back to GitHub Desktop. It is going to give you a popup window stating that it cannot find one of your repositories. Point it to the folder where you put the .git directory. It should be happy now.
Now, you can fetch the repository again. That'll sync the files on GitHub with your local configs. As long as you have GitHub Desktop open, you should never be out of date. In addition, you can make changes to your own configs and use this repository to issue a pull request to me if you think that that change should be in the modpack. GitHub desktop should not revert intentional changes that you make to a file unless you tell it to reset the repository.
