Need a different approach to library management. This repository is getting to be larger than desired...

Core problem is that git + binary files = space inefficient and the IntLib (URCLib) is frequently updated requiring rewrites. Additionally, diffs (and thus merges and many branch features) are not usable

Options to investigate:

  • Are Altium "source" libraries (.SchLib and .PcbLib) text or binary files?
  • Does Altium git integration have a better solution
  • Library export to text file, import to Altium formats and compile IntLib for a release of libraries

Unfortunately, there really may not be a better option...
https://github.com/issus/altium-library uses binary schlib and pcblib files...

In the meantime, updating documentation to recommend cloning with --depth 1 would be good, because I'm told that's not a feature people often know of
