Therefore, it is recommended to install Etckeeper only +# after successfully flashing the image. However, for devices with limited storage +# space for the root filesystem, ensure that enough space is available for +# installing Etckeeper to avoid runtime errors. +# Furthermore, note that Git's databases can bloat over time, +# leading to unnecessarily large storage consumption.
