title: Is it a good idea to store LabView source code in git repository?
body: <p>I am trying to choose best revision control system for a LabVIEW project.</p>
  
  <p>In <a href="http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4114/en/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>  and <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/26EC5904169430CE8625706E00743997?OpenDocument" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> article from National Instruments i have found that it might be a good idea to use SVN.</p>
  
  <p>But I was wondering if I could use git (because I am used to it), and what are possible downsides comparing to SVN  or any other version control system mentioned above.</p>
  
  <p>As far as I know git is designed to store text files and LabVIEW source code are binary files.
  Hovewer I have found that many <a href="https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/git-user-group?view=blog" rel="nofollow noreferrer">people</a> are using LabVIEW with git. 
  There are even <a href="https://github.com/joerg/LabViewGitEnv" rel="nofollow noreferrer">github projects</a>, that integrates LabVIEW with git.</p>
  
  <p>So generally is it a good idea to use git and what are pros and cons?</p>
