LabView and Git

Andrew J
Andrew J over 1 year ago

Hi Jan Cumps ,

amongst your many useful Git postings, have you ever created one about using LabVIEW with Git?  I can't find anything but I thought I'd ask before wandering off to the Interweb.

    No. I have no relevant experience with it.

    I have a github repo for the driver of our Pico SCPI labTool. But it is not on source line level. I will post a link to it.

    My approach: 

    • I created a repo, with a .gitignore specific for LabVIEW.
    • I use commits, branches and pull requests just like for a C project.
    • No solution for working together in parallel

    Ok, thanks.  Thought I'd check first.  LabVIEW and Git don't natively integrate so it's a question of managing outside and setting up an appropriate .gitignore and .gitattributes.

    I may well take a copy of that .gitignore!  For a single developer I don't suppose some problems are likely to occur but it would seem that auto-merging text files like a .lvproj may well cause an issue in a multi-dev environment.

    I have spent time (wholly wasted now..grrrrr) working with LabVIEW NXG so I am somewhat familiar.  LabVIEW is different though so it will take some time to get to grips with the differences.  I am certainly not anywhere near as experienced as Jan, probably no more than yourself.

    Indeed it does.  This runs outside of source control though as I understand it.

    I'm not sure you'll get much out of reading a review of it now, except of course to admire my excellent prose, or help you sleep.
