- samuelstros 9mo agoYes. The tracking works via plugins to keep it generic. Here is a rough illustration: File change -> Plugin (detects changes) -> Lix It works surprisingly well because most standard file formats have off the shelf parsers. Parse a file format, and et voila, it is trivial to diff. Then pass on a standard schema for changes to lix and you end up with a generic API to query changes.
