OK, ROOL's git app is apparently not compatible with sgit..

Fortunately I've been busy at work and hadn't done anything complicated, but I still had to restore 2 local git repos from backups...

And of course I got confused and deleted a repo from a backup before I'd restored it. Redundant backups FTW!

Ok #SVN / #SourceControl tooters, how do we take the web archive of an old SVN server and stand it back up locally, so we can get our actual project files back out of it?

@joe_wintergreen is dealing with files downloaded from Dreamhost (used to do an SVN service but just stopped one day with no warning), so he's got the server data downloaded, but now it's like- what do?

I'm guessing "set up a local SVN server and copy files in", but does version of server matter? Where do we copy the files? Also ideally we do this on Windows not Linux, heh.

I would definitely get on board with something like a #GitHub Audio Edition.

I'd also really like to put my entire #MusicProduction environment in #VersionControl, kinda like how #Docker works for software devs.

Just imagine, in addition to having your project files in #SourceControl, you could also have your #DAW, #plugins, #presets, #samples, #drivers, etc., all saved in the precise state required for every project you've ever worked on. Need to revisit a project from several upgrades ago? Just checkout the most recent commit from that project, and everything would be exactly as you left it.

This would also allow you to upgrade your #hardware independently from your #software, and/or restore everything to perfect working order on a new machine within minutes (instead of hours or days) in case of theft, damage, or catastrophic hardware failure.

IMO, the necessary tech to make this kind of thing possible isn't *quite* there yet, but probably will be soon. 🤞
