Git commit best practices

Описание: Stop emailing zip files named final_final_v3b.zip.
It’s time to bring real structure to hardware revision control with Git.

In this video, we trace the journey from floppy disks and filing cabinets to modern decentralized version control. You’ll see how Git helps hardware teams manage both source files (schematics, layouts, CAD) and output files (BOMs, Gerbers, netlists) in a traceable, collaborative workflow.

What you’ll learn:

Centralized vs. decentralized systems (and why Git wins)

How to structure commits, branches, and design reviews

Best practices for tagging & releasing builds for production

Why merging hardware is harder than software—and how to handle it

How to version ECAD data without relying on email or shared drives

Whether you’re managing ECAD files, coordinating across teams, or just tired of chaotic zip files, this is your roadmap to versioning hardware like a pro.

📌 Key Takeaways

Commit with clarity

Push to the right branches

Review work collaboratively

Tag & release for traceability

Git = structure, rigor, and freedom for hardware teams
