Hi! I am very intrigued by using systems like github for artistic / creative processes. I wonder if such systems have been used in the domain of music and sound already? Also I am working with colleagues Andrea Iten, Catherine Walthard and Max Spielmann on a project related to soundscapes as common good, so also here, the notion of sharing and collaborating in a dynamic environment (with sound) is highly relevant. Any ideas/hints?

Mmh interesting question, I don't know the full answer! At least with Git, the main important thing to consider is that it mainly works with text files for allowing file comparison (diff), merge and edit. Large binary files are normally not stored, and I guess that sound files are stored as binary files, typically with large file size.

https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-large-files/distributing-large-binaries https://git-lfs.github.com/

But text files (MIDI? guitar tablature?) might work well. I'd suggest to check also open source software for sound and music first, check if they store files in text or binary form, and if they already suggest some workflow.
