Thank you, Urs and Simon. I have begun taking a look at the git process, and will continue to dive into those posts. Very exciting, regardless! ~Conor -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Git-Lilypond-workflow-tp171764p171989.html Sent from the User mailing

I use Git and Lilypond. I know Git quite well, but haven't been using Lilypond much lately. I can see from this thread that I'm not using the two together efficiently, so I'll describe what I should be doing. 1) Keep a "tools" repository with the include files I depend on, and really should

I use one repository, a number of shared directories, and then one subdirectory for each project. I create a branch off of my master branch whenever I start a project (and often a number of branches off of that for experiments) and make a lot of commits, then I rebase and squash all the commits i

My approach is almost the opposite. I have everything in one repository, with each composition in its own folder, because: --I have files that are common to all compositions. Having separate copies of these all over the place is exactly what I don't want. If I change, for example, the script t

Hi list, Would anyone be able to briefly share with me how they use Git with Lilypond; i.e. do you create a separate repository for each composition you are working on, do you make a separate branch for each part while you are working on it and then merge when it is finished, if you sell your musi
