Ableton Git Template

This repository provides a Git template for collaborating on Ableton Live projects. It automatically handles the extraction and compression of .adg, .als, and .adv files, making them diff-friendly while removing sensitive path information.

Setup

1. Clone this repository or use it as a template:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ableton-git-template.git my-project
   # OR use GitHub's "Use this template" button

2. Run the setup script:

   ./setup.sh

This will:

• Set up the necessary Git hooks
• Configure Git filters for Ableton file types
• Create the required .gitattributes file

How it works

• When you stage Ableton files (.adg, .als, .adv), they are automatically decompressed to XML
• Path elements are automatically removed to protect privacy
• When you check out files, they are automatically recompressed
• You can see clean diffs of your Ableton files in Git

Requirements

• bash
• gzip
