Particular example embodiments described herein can provide for a system, an apparatus, and a method for providing synchronization for a network device operating in a network environment. Operations may include managing a configuration for the network device by a source control management (SCM) engine configured to track changes in the configuration using a source control management system (SCM) database. The operations may also include synchronizing the configuration between the SCM database and a system database of the network device such that their stored representations of configuration information associated with the network device are substantially the same. In particular embodiments, the SCM engine comprises a Git™ element that allows for one or more differences to a configuration session to be committed with a corresponding full textual representation.
