Just wondering if anyone has any experience in using source control systems (Subversion, Git, etc.) to manage AppleScript scripts/ applets/applications developed in Script Editor, Script Debugger and Xcode?If so, any thoughts on what works best, given AppleScript's tendency towards SCM-unfriendly binary file formats?

Hi Hamish,

We're using subversion for all AppleScript and AppleScript Studio scripts/apps.

The AppleScript files are saved as text only (.applescript). At the top of each file I use properties to store the information about the script's name, version, type (e.g. ".app" or ".scpt") and whether it's a stay-open and/or run-only when compiled.

When I'm ready to release the script, I use a droplet that reads the above information then compiles and saves it using osascript. This works well.

I've found that "ignoring" the build folder works best for AS-Studio projects. I don't use Xcode's internal subversion support - this didn't work very well last time I tried.

HTH,

Simon
