LabVIEW Source Control Plugin? - Like GitHub?

I found this post by DELACOR to be invaluable for setting up LabVIEW's built in visual diff and merge tools on GIT. It's worth checking out no matter what wrapper you use on GIT.

I don't think there is a good solution for using Labview with GIT. Most modern General Purpose IDEs now have GIT baked into them (think VS code and IntelliJ products). It would be nice to see NI bake GIT into the project manager where it should be. For now I use Tortise GIT or just GIT on the command line which works but can be clunky. I have coworkers that use SourceTree and they like it, for now its just up to you to pick some third party GIT wrapper that you like and use it until NI integrates it.

I think that's a third party thing, i found it online.

It basically just opens two Labview windows side by side and highlights the differences between two versions of a VI.

I found this from Endigit. I am able to get it to work, but it's not really that useful for me as I'm usually working on large projects with lots of dependencies and it seems to be trying to create a cached version of all of them. (It took 10 minutes to trying to find files that didn't exist then had missing VI's)

Both GIT and Subversion can be configured to use the standard LVCompare. I just googled it and found a simple guide when i needed to, but i don't remember which one i followed. 🙂

In SVN i checks out the previous verions as filename.version.vi and compares with the active one.
