Blendgit
Manage versions of Blender documents using Git
Installation
You can get Blendgit one of two ways:
A) Cloning into your Blender addons folder
B) Downloading a Zip archive from latest master or a release
Option A: Clone into Blender's addons folder.
You may use your git client of choice to clone this repository into the addons folder. This is located in one of the following locations:
- Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\VERSION\scripts\addons - Linux:
$HOME/.config/blender/VERSION/scripts/addons - MacOS:
/Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Blender/VERSION/scripts/addons
Note: You will need to replace VERSION with your current Blender installation's version.
Option B: Download and install a Zip archive
Either download from the latest master through the Code button, or select a release and download the Zip archive there, as shown below.
Select Edit->Preferences
Select Add-ons->Install and choose the zip you downloaded. Then enable the plugin by ticking the checkbox next to Blendgit as shown below:
With that out of the way, you can now start using Blendgit!
