Versioning FreeCAD Files with Git

Re:Versioning FreeCAD Files with Git by evolve2k on Tuesday June 18, 2024 @05:44PM (#40722438)

What if git was just applied to the unzipped files? Might that side step some of the issues while also making say your GitHub more usable?

This could be supported with a short bash script that did unzip and git commit (I’d call it unzit as the name makes me laugh).

And then do builds as the last step, either storing the original zip file or having a way to zip things back up.

Isn't that what using zippey as a filter is doing?

My understanding is that you git repo would include a compression optimised binary.. rather than a list of text files.

A script to sort of ‘package to git’ and one to ‘unpackaged from hit’ would allow the text files to be more easily managed within git.
