I maintain a macros file which is static over all my documents. Whenever I need to make a new document, I copy the macros file in the folder and start working on it. Now the problem is I have several copies of the macros file all over my computer. If at a later stage I change a command or add new command to the macros file, I will have to replace all the macros file in order to maintain uniformity. I have now completely lost track of versions of the macros file.
- What is the standard way of maintaining the macros file?
- Is it preferred to keep it on the cloud and may be use GIT to pull every time?
- Often labs have a common macros file as well. How should it be maintained?
Regards.

, copy your definitions to it and place it in your localtexmf
directory such that TeX can find it. That's what packages are designed for! Similar, but not really a duplicate: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/273862/…
