- nine_k 3y agoSince OpenSCAD uses basically source code format, it already does. I'm more interested in tracking and versioning edits to KiCAD schematics, for instance.
- bgnn 3y agoI think you are describing something similar to Perforce Versic [1]. I use this at work to diff schematic or layout. The ugly thing is: it's perforce.. I wish there was an open source alternative. [1] https://www.perforce.com/products/versic https://www.perforce.com/products/versic
- fanf2 3y agoKiCAD’s storage format is s-expressions, so it works OK with git (better than binary file formats). However I have not tried to merge concurrent edits by multiple people; I suspect if there is any conflict you are basically out of luck.
- lincoln20xx 3y agoGit works great with text-based code-cad. My personal favourite flavor is build123d, which is based on cadquery.
