KerbalGit is a Kerbal Space Program plugin that adds Git game state versioning.
The plugin is very basic and doesn't have a UI. Don't install KerbalGit unless you are comfortable using Git.
When first run, the plugin will set up a Git repository for the saves/ directory. The .git/ directory itself is placed in GameData/KerbalGit/.
The plugin is invoked and commits changes on three events:
- autosave
- quicksave (F5)
- save in VAB/SPH
I have only tried KerbalGit on Windows. The plugin uses LibGit2Sharp 0.17 which relies on the the native library libgit2. A Windows binary (git2-06d772d.dll) is included, but separate builds are needed for Linux and OSX.
- Get the latest release.
- Copy
GameData/KerbalGit/to your KSP directory. - Copy
git2-06d772d.dll(on Windows) to the root of your KSP directory. Pick the correct one fromNativeBinaries/depending on if you run KSP in 32-bit or 64-bit mode.
You can exclude any files and directories that you don't want to have under version control in saves/.gitignore.
In GameData/KerbalGit/settings.cfg, you can set the minimum interval (in seconds) between commits and the committer's name and email.
