-#+TITLE: FreeCAD and Git
-#+DATE: 2021-04-11T12:53:48-04:00
-#+DRAFT: false
-#+DESCRIPTION: How to efficiently version control FreeCAD files using git
-#+TAGS[]: git freecad
-#+KEYWORDS[]: git freecad
-#+SLUG:
-#+SUMMARY:
-
-I've been working a lot with [[https://freecadweb.org/][FreeCAD]] since I got my 3D printer. It's
-been a mostly excellent experience, but I've run a couple issues.
-
-Between the MacOS and Linux version of FreeCAD (both 0.19, maybe
-different builds?), and transferring files between machines using
-Nextcloud, a project that I'd been working on for a couple days became
-broken to the point where I could no longer modify the sketches,
-rendering it useless.
-
-This has led me to find out how I can manage these files through
-version control like [[https://git-scm.com/][=git=]].
-
-It would seem that FreeCAD files are nothing more than zip files
-containing text documents, which should make this rather easy.
-
-Unfortunately there isn't a standard process to git control a
-zipped folder, though I have come across a couple methods which
-when used together, result in an adequate solution.
-
-The main component of this workaround is a great little script called
-[[https://bitbucket.org/sippey/zippey/src/master/][zippey]], which allows git to efficiently store zip files using
-something called a [[https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_filter][=filter= attribute]].
-
-The second isn't as much a tool as it is a snippet from a [[https://tante.cc/2010/06/23/managing-zip-based-file-formats-in-git/][blog post]]
-about diffing zip files using the [[https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_diff][=diff= attribute]]. By combining both
-these methods we can arrive at a pretty good method of handling
-FreeCAD save data.
-
-The first step is to download the zippy python program. Since I
-keep all source repositories under =~/src= in directories based on
-the website and user who created them, I'll be cloning it to
-=~/src/bitbucket.org/sippey/zippey=.
-
-Then I configure my =~/.gitconfig= to so that the =diff= and =filter=
-attribute settings are used globally. I'll also setup a global git
-[[https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Attributes][attributes]] file so that I don't need to set the association with
-=.FCStd= files in each repo individually.
-
-I add the following lines to my =~/.gitconfig=.
-
-#+begin_src conf
-[diff "zip"]
-textconv = unzip -c -a
-[core]
-    attributesfile = ~/.gitattributes
-[filter "zippey"]
-    smudge = /home/dante/src/bitbucket.org/sippey/zippey/zippey.py d
-    clean = /home/dante/src/bitbucket.org/sippey/zippey/zippey.py e
-#+end_src
-
-Then I create a =~/.gitattributes= file with the following content.
-
-#+begin_src conf
-*.FCStd filter=zippey
-*.FCStd diff=zip
-#+end_src
-
-With this, =git= should be now be able to effectively diff and store
-proper deltas when FreeCAD files are modified.
-
-Keep in mind you need to redo this process on each computer you
-plan on using this with, otherwise the files git produces won't
-make any sense.
