Managing uncompressed FinalBuilder script files in git/github

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

I want to maintain uncompressed FinalBuilder script files in a github repo but they are managed as binary files. Has anyone found a way to maintain FinalBuilder scripts in a git repo as text instead of binary? I have attempted to use a .gitattributes file to specify that the scripts should be treated as text with a CRLF eol, but this doesn’t seem to help.

Thanks.

Hi Dar,

The issue is that the default encoding on FinalBuilder projects is currently UTF-16. Changing this to UFT-8 and re-saving the file should mean git will pick it up at a text file.

How do I persist UTF-8 after I have converted it? Any time I save in FinalBuilder, the UTF-8 file reverts back to UTF-16.

I’m currently using Version 7.0.0.3062.

Best regards,
Dar

Hi Dar,

Just to confirm that you have changed the encoding settings inside the FinalBuilder IDE. If not then updating this will mean each time the IDE saves a project it will use the UTF-8 encoding as requested.

Thanks. Found it… Tools>Options… Category FinalBuilder… Project File Encoding.

previously I was just changing the file format at the file system level.
