alt Hacker NewsI maintain MAKID, which is a desktop app built to integrate with Ableton live files in order to help manage versioning/organization. I’ve been wondering if a git workflow is the right one for producers. I feel like it sounds nice but in the end ppl are probably just gonna copy and paste their files because it’s intuitive and easy. Plus I imagine users getting confused by branching causing them to think they’ve lost their progress.

What kind of contexts would branching be useful for? Working on the bass line on one branch while tweaking the lyrics on another to later merge them together?
Linear version control makes total sense to me: "Can we go back to the version from 2 weeks ago" "which one was that? "Before we removed the hi hat!"
But I struggle to think of a realistic case for branching.
