Which type of files used within matlab has support from git?
Especially .m files and .mat files
Best Answer
You can add any type of file to a Git repository. However, if you are using command-line Git (meaning, you have installed Git on your own to use it at the command line instead of using the integration in the Current Folder browser), you have to make sure to configure Git so that.mat files and other binary files are recognized as binary files. Otherwise, Git might try to change the end-of-file character which will corrupt the file.
This is explained in details in the documentation:
MATLAB's SVN integration does not support branching or merging. You would need to use an external client like tortoise SVN or the SVN command-line client to do this.
MathWorks diff and merge tools can be registered with an external SVN client to make this process easier with MathWorks file types.
This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:
This is a bug in MATLAB 6.5 (R13).
The exception can be ignored; the HDFTOOL will continue to function normally after the exception. To prevent the exception, always have a file selected before choosing 'Close File'.
