<div dir="ltr">Hi Hugh,<div><br></div><div>I'm using git for several projects. The simplest model is a collection of texts that I can work on on my laptop and then commit to the repository when they are ready. This is a single repository and means I can access them anywhere, and also keep track of changes. Another project involves hundreds of pages of TEI marked up text that feed a website of vocabularies of Western Australian languages. Having this in a git repository means I can collaborate with others on the same data, and we can keep all the work in sync. I use SourceTree on a mac as the local client.</div><div><br></div><div>Nick</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 26 July 2017 at 04:10, Hugh Paterson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hugh_paterson@sil.org" target="_blank">hugh_paterson@sil.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div style="color:purple;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.696px" dir="auto"><div><br><span style="font-size:12.8px">Has anyone used git to manage files while doing language documentation? Perhaps using git's LFS feature. We have a lot of files moving across a network of computers as we acomplish various tasks in various workflows. It would be helpful to manage diffs on these files. Annotated tiers in .eaf files, praat text grids, etc. Has anyone any pointers on this? Did they use one large repo or divide the project into several repos - perhaps based on recording sessions. Or has anyone used the git module/ tree feature? One advantage of git is the git blame, another is the rollback feature. I am hoping to use the git diff feature to check for updated sections of files. </span></div><div><br></div></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">all the best,<br>- Hugh Paterson III</div></div>
