Using a repository to store all configuration settings for hassio

After poking around the hassio install script it appears that the config files are stored at:

DATA_SHARE=/usr/share/hassio

This seems to include on only the yaml files for home assistant, but also config files for addons. Would this directory be the place to clone a repository in order to store my configuration settings?

One thing I noticed is that in DATA_SHARE there is a addons.json file which seems to have all of the config settings for every addon. And in the addons/data/ directory there are config files that seem to have the same data, but just for that specific addon. Does the supervisor take the information from addons.json and copy these down to the addon directories? In other words would I only need to track addons.json?

What I’m trying to do is to automate completely the install process by running the install script, then cloning my settings repo into the data directory.
