 ===Git and Github===
 Git is primarily used for software development. It is built upon the ability for two people to simultaneously edit a text file, and then for git to be able to merge these two files. Because of this, users are not able to "lock" so only one user can edit at a time. Unfortunately because merging is not possible with CAD files, Git is a poor option for anything other than text files.
 =ECAD (PCB Design)=
 ECAD collaboration software is mostly redundant with the MCAD section, however ECAD doesn't integrate quite as well with typical CAD repositories, while also having some of it's own unique tools.

 [[Category:Team]]
+FSAE is a large process: a lot of parts, a lot of money, a lot of time, and possibly a lot of people. Most companies have to deal with this issue too, so there are quite a few solutions out there to help you organize the team. Solutions that work for one team may not work for another due to differences in how the team is structured.

 Works for smaller teams. For larger teams with many simultaneous users, being able to lock out files during editing to prevent version conflicts becomes more important. Also, having one main computer (such as a shop computer) which always has an up to date full-vehicle assembly will help to spot issues.

 ===Subversion (SVN)===
 SVN is a version control system developed for software before git. While git is a distributed system, SVN has one central vault, which users can lock out files for editing. There are hosts for SVN servers, or you can create your own SVN server using software like SVNEdge. All the users would use software like tortoiseSVN to sync files.
