my patches folder has been a git repo for ages => fearless patching + free offsite backups to github JIC. @TroubledMind , git also provides convenient place to document my patches/changes via commit messages

@zero , you can branch as much as you like. There is no negative effect :slightly_smiling_face: Branching in git can be a complex subject, even among software professionals. It doesn’t have to complicated at all for this application. If you like having a “one branch per patch” workflow, go for it! …

Thanks. I’m still learning git basics, and wanted to be sure I wasn’t transgressing on ‘good practice’!

It might be code, but we ain’t writing code. You might as well call an MS Word .doc file a ‘code’ project…

[image] "How do you rename your files?" (Draggonrabbit63 question) It might be code, but we ain’t writing code. You might as well call an MS Word .doc file a ‘code’ project… So sorry to have tried to clarify what kind of files are we dealing with, and why they are able to be used with Git … So…

I was extremely interested in the rest of your comment… Linus wrote git as ‘a content management and tracking system’ - it is specifically NOT only for code. Certain parts of it are certainly geared towards code development, but it suits our purposes just fine. I am unlikely to want to merge or re…

Thanks A LOT for the info @dirkleas ! … Currently learning Go thanks to your suggestion about golang + fsnotify + os.exec.

[image] "How do you rename your files?" (Draggonrabbit63 question) Have you tried my short tutorial above to be certain that “a vcv patch would survive or not to such an operation in the state required”? … Or you’re only guessing? ‘I’m not certain’ means I’m guessing - and my guess is that som…

You know, it would be Pretty Nice if there was a way to hide the versioning under the covers, so to speak – so each time you clicked “Save Patch” instead of “Save Patch As…”, you’d get a dialog with a default commit message in place already, which you could of course edit to what you’d prefer. Would…

Hi @joe.mcmahon If you’re a programmer look at this and this posts from @dirkleas above to get an idea about how this can be made and the tools to use for doing it … Basically it would consist in a file watcher able to trig a command each time a file or directory changes, so that everytime you “Sa…
