HN Theater @HNTheaterMonth

Git is a fantastic version control system. KiCad is my favorite EDA tool. Out of the box, the two don't play too well together. In this talk, I'll explain how I use git for KiCad projects. In particular, I'll talk about how to massage KiCad's files to help git understand what changed between each revision and how to set up visual diffs of your layouts. I'll also show how to build full fabrication output packages with a single command.
