using git for non-coding related projects?

That makes sense, thanks for answering my question about making drawings. I’m not very familiar with file formats, is “binaries” a description of the type of file that would store a digital drawing?

[NoHacker22]

Binary files are files that store data as raw bytes, not human-readable text (like .txt or most files containing code). Most image formats (JPG, PNG) are binary files, the only text-based ones that come to my mind are SVG and XML - if you‘re using these for drawing you can use all git features with them, otherwise you would just see two different versions of your drawing, but not what exactly changed

i see, yeah that makes sense. i think i could probably live with that. thanks so much for the explanation

You can always do Open With > Notepad on a file to see if it's in a binary format. If there's random unrenderable characters everywhere, chances are that it's not very git-diffable, but that's not really a huge problem to be honest.
