Do you have a story to share?

    A couple of years ago, I was modding a fresh install of Skyrim and thought, “I can use git branches to make it easy to switch between different mod combinations rather than uninstalling/reinstalling mods when something breaks or when I want to change things up.” Worked well!

    I had branches that were mostly vanilla with enhancements, and then branches that had all kinds of ridiculous mods. If I wanted to switch to playing a ridiculous build of Skyrim, I’d just close the game, checkout the branch I wanted, and start the game.

      Interesting! Didn’t slow up too much with all the binary files? I guess you weren’t swapping around sets of 300 content mods either lol

        It’s been a couple of years, but I don’t recall it being particularly slow switching between branches. I had a pretty beefy rig to begin with, which probably helped.
