You should get the following message: Initialized empty Git repository in D:/gdrive/blender/Winter/Snowman/.git/ Once you reached the project folder type in the following command to create the repository: git init This project folder snowman acts as a root folder for the Git repository. In my example I will create a snowman project and create a folder snowman. To create your first repository you should create a new project folder and navigate in the command line window to this folder using the ‘cd’ command. If you get an error message most likely the PATH variable of Windows is not set properly for either Tortoise Git or Git Lfs. If you get version information like git version 2.11.0.windows.1 or git-lfs/2.9.0 (GitHub windows amd64 go 1.12.7 git 8ab05aa7) everything seems to be fine. In the command line window we check if Tortoise Git and Git Lfs has been installed properly by using the following commands: git -version git lfs -version To avoid issues in a later state of this tutorial open your command line tool by using the short keys ‘Win + R’, type in ‘cmd’ and press ‘Enter’. Just follow the general instructions and use the defaults paths to keep it simple. The installation of the tools are quite easy. In other words, Fork can be used to display information about a repository and allows to work on the repository on a nice graphical user interface. Git LFS extends Tortoise Git by the Large File Storage feature, later more. However, to use Git locally you have to download Tortoise Git, which provides local repository creation. Preconditioningīefore you can start with Blender, Git and the Git Large File Storage feature you need to download the respective tools. In addition we will track specific file formats and add these files to the Git configuration management.

In this tutorial I will show you how to work with Blender and Git, specifically with the Git Large File Storage feature.
