Git for TwinCAT 2 (CoDeSys)

GoTwinCAT: Git Macro for CoDeSys or TwinCAT 2. // Oct 2019

How To...

It is a good idea to close PLC Control before using +commit.cmd

• +commit.cmd does:
  1. looking for the .pro files inside %ProjectDir%
  2. exports several .exp files from the one .pro file to the ~%ProjectName% folder
  3. git add * (all)
  4. git commit -m with-current-date-n-time

From command line, execute git branch or git checkout before running +restore.cmd

• +restore.cmd does:
  1. looking for .pro files inside %ProjectDir%
  2. import from the .exp files to the .pro one
