Have you tried GIT with PcDmis?

Kp61dude!
Some of you already know that I left the CMM world ~1 year ago and have moved into a Controls Engineer role. Git has become a common task in my daily work life and have grown to appreciate it. Each time I'm in use of it I can't help to think about all the times Git would've been useful with PcDmis...

Recently, I've began helping out a shop write programs on my spare time. Time to test Git and PcDmis and find out how well they work together.

Thus far... .PRG files are binaries and therefore kills the usefulness of GIT a little bit BUT not totally. I am able to create branches and travel back and forth thru time. Would I still use Git and PcDmis even though Git doesn't display details as far as what changed exactly changed from a last edit... YES!!!

Let me know if you're interested in learning more and I'll type up a simple thread on my adventures with Git and PcDmis... whenever I find the spare time Smiley

    For 3 and 4: I would look into creating a script on PcDmis' end to call a batch script that commits existing and writes a useful commit message. The custom optional input comment would be handled on the same end.

    Folders: I would stay on the side of maximum control so making each part folder a repo would be a personal choice of mine. In the folder I typically keep an operations folder (eg. op1, op2, etc.) and setup pictures to name a few CMM output would be located somewhere different. I would be against making my top level programs folder as the repo... it'll just be hard to handle version differences.

    I'll fix the link here soon and look forward to people's input.. maybe even a surprise "pull request"!
