I recently got into 3D printing and, of course, after seeing countless ads on YouTube for OnShape, that was my first choice. Anyone having used both can share their thoughts about how solvespace and OnShape compare? On my end I’ve been lovi

Branches are mutable and regularly point to a new commit. Branching is selecting an active line of development, a set of commits that change over time. That's why git also offer tags. Tags are immutable. That's an important distin
