Random notes for Design With Git

Use different diff tool such as P4merge http://git-scm.com/book/fr/v1/Personnalisation-de-Git-Configuration-de-Git http://www.perforce.com/product/components/perforce-visual-merge-and-diff-tools (freeware)

• https://helpcenter.woodwing.com/hc/en-us/articles/205501375 - DAM (Digital Assets Management), create versions of a file is a 3 step process, for each file. Not practical for day to day work. It's a DAM, not a DVCS. No possibility to compare two versions. Comparing 2 image files is putting them side by side.

• Have a Font vizualing tool. Play around with fonts?
• Why Dropbox and other sync software suck… Versioning is “linear” and there is no way to .ignore files inside a folder.

From this video: http://opendesign.foundation/articles/designers-can-open-source-session-video/

How can designers be more open source:

1. Share you process. (failed attempts, inspiration,…)
2. Share your source files
3. Use code as a design tool
4. Collaborate
5. Donate (donate unused work)
6. Contribute

Make “credit” the core reward for contributing.

Roadblocks:

• Tooling (invent the tools)
• File formats (open file formats like svg, html/css as design tools)
