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)
Tools I will not review II
- 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.
Desktop tools

Online service
Git
- Desktop github
- git sync…
Git tips
- how to diff binary files (suggested link taken from spaceman-diff)
Visual libs to try out
- GItlit: Version control for HTML files https://github.com/PolicyStat/gitlit
Thoughts
- 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.
CSS tricks
Open design
From this video: http://opendesign.foundation/articles/designers-can-open-source-session-video/
How can designers be more open source:
- Share you process. (failed attempts, inspiration,…)
- Share your source files
- Use code as a design tool
- Collaborate
- Donate (donate unused work)
- 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)
