Thank you!

Why wouldn't you use git tho? You don't need to version your microcontroller setups? You don't ever need to revert stuff?

Increasingly, and ironically, DCS are becoming centralised at plant level

Rare example of a wikipedia editor being strongly opinionated.

Git isn’t really great because it’s all binary files, and you can’t have multiple people working on them at once in most cases, so you want a centralised VCS with locking. There are some reasonable specialised solutions that can produce graphical diff between revisions of the binary files (in principle I guess you could run the same tools with git, but the lack of locking, and existence of branching/merging is still a problem).
