stardew-git
A tool that versions changes in Stardew Valley savegames with git.
About
This tool allows you to put your Stardew Valley savegames
under version control to back it up and also allow you to go back in
time by checking out earlier commits.
It will create commits with this name pattern: Day #123.
How
Stardew Valley savegames are simple (but huge!) XML files,
that are
saved as one-liners (though there are some quest texts that include
linefeeds). This tool simply pretty-prints your savegame and the
SaveGameInfo
file and commits them to a git repository (which it
creates for you).
Requirements
Git needs to be installed on your system.
... and Stardew Valley of course.
Usage
Syntax
stardew-git [-p|--push] <savegamePath>
The --push
flag is optional and allows the tool to automatically push.
Windows
The game was only released for Windows PCs so far, but the syntax would
still be the same; the command, optionss and the path to the savegame's
directory.
stardew-git [-p|--push] %APPDATA%\StardewValley\Saves\<YourSavegame>
Roadmap
- Add the possibility to use a config file
- Allow multiple savegames to be watched simultaneously
