Admittedly, I’m not currently using it, so it’d be an experiment unless someone else on this list pipes up with experience. Git does have it’s limitations with large static files (hence the creation of LFS), and the nature of versioning small changes in parallel to large static files can be problematic. Pachyderm was designed for versioning “data" rather than programming code, and so may be a better choice with documentation. It does have the problem of being a relatively young project. Git on the other hand is very widely used with a long-ish history.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">My understanding with pachyderm is the that versioning is underlyingly stored as diffs making it more space efficient. This may be more appropriate in situations with constrained resources (e.g., remote fieldwork). It also has the advantage of (potentially) capturing (computational) transformations of data in a way that can be repeated should you rollback and make changes. So for instance, if your workflow involves transformation between transcript formats, you can repeat the transformation after a rollback to fix an error in the primary transcript.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/krZOBligkGkqhn?domain=pachyderm.io" class="">http://pachyderm.io</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Then again, as John notes, all members of the team need to have the skills to use it. Git at least has some nice GUI tools for working with it, and free resources that implement it like GitHub or GitLab.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><br class=""><div class="">

Or has anyone used the git module/ tree feature? One advantage of git is the git blame, another is the rollback feature.
