New to source control - Labview 32 bit and 64 bit - how to set up LV Compare/Merge with both?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am fairly new to source control in general and am trying to get git integrated with LabVIEW and am using TortiseGIT on my machine.  I saw the pinned post about "run this script and things will be set up for ya" regarding LV Compare/merge, but it didn't work for me, so I am manually adding in the file extensions to TortiseGIT and I ran into a bit of a snag that I wanted to get some input on. 

 

I have LV 32 and 64 bit installed on my PC and am unsure how to handle adding in LV Compare/Merge.  I say this because, as far as I am aware, TortiseGIT can only run 1 program per file type.  When talking with ChatGPT about it, ChatGPT recommended making a script that checks the file's "bitness" then running the correct version of LV Compare/Merge and use that script as the "program".  To me, it makes sense, but I also do not know what I do not know. I wanted to see if other people have run into this issue and what their solutions were.  If it's a "google it" thing, can I get some direction regarding what I should be searching for?  I don't mind putting in the legwork to learn, but I also don't know where to start with this issue and I've been flailing around in the dark for a bit and it's getting super frustrating.

 

Thanks.
