The only other version control that I used is Plastic SCM, and honestly Stockholm Syndrome or not, I like git much more.

- tombert 3y agoSomeone told me that I really need to check out Mercurial for its binary diffing stuff, and as I've gotten more into 3d modeling in the last year then that might actually buy me something. However, now that bitbucket has dropped Mercurial support, I'm not entirely sure where I can easily push a mercurial repo for backup. For better or worse, I am extremely dependent on Gitlab to backup my code so I'm not risking my work on a potentially failing hard disk/ssd.
- raincole 3y ago> 3D modeling I don't know. For large binary files I still use Google Drive as backup (I know 3D models are not necessarily "large" by today's standard) One can use git LFS, but there isn't an easy way to free up the storage them occupy from the history. And GitHub LFS is about 5 times more expensive than Google Drive per GB.
- tombert 3y agoThese are just CAD-style models for functional robotic parts, not game assets or anything, so they're not actually very large as they're pretty utilitarian, but they do change a lot. As of right now, I'm just pushing the binary files to Gitlab with vanilla git, and at least thus far Gitlab hasn't complained to me. I figure that the moment Gitlab sends me a nastygram about it, I'll move to S3 or Google Storage or something.

- tombert 3y agoI saw this, but the stuff I'm working on isn't (for the moment) open source, which most of them require. That said, I will give the Perforce one a look.
- pseudalopex 3y agoI think most of them have private repos. But not most of the free services.
