This project is an attempt to make a font development versioning and backup system that fits my needs. It is designed to:
- Be simple to use.
- Be agnostic about project structures.
- Allow local or remote archiving.
- Store states in a form that does not require this, or any other, tool to view or access the data.
- Not try to be, or compete with, Git.
The storage system is entirely file based. It simply duplicates the contents of a project into a time stamped directory. It doesn't do any kind of merging or other sophisticated versioning system tasks.
Check out the documentation file.
I did. I really, really, really tried to use Git for font projects for several years, but it was way more complex than what I needed. It was like buying a cruise ship, staffing it with a full crew, stocking all the provisions, fueling it up and taking it out to sea just so that I could make a sandwich. Yeah, I could make a sandwich on the ship, but there are easier ways to make a sandwich.
