How to version control?

Support Basics & Interface
1

I’m a beginner to Blender, but I realized the whole thing is packed inside a .blend which makes it pretty hard to do any version control (source control) or the like.

I was wondering if any more experienced user out there does any form of source control or has any suggestions on how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

For larger projects you should use several .blend files (e.g. one asset per .blend) linked together.

If I was going to do a large project in this way, I’d be tempted to set up an SVN repository (or similar) to version track my files.
