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!
