Best practice for collaborating #1461
-
Hello, I'm doing a group project where we're doing an LCA using activitybrowser. We therefore want to share an activitybrowser with each other. The plan was to put the project in a git repo and push and pull that like one would a codebase - but due to how activity browser saves projects in a place specific to the operating system, I get the idea that we have to use the export and import project functionality to share projects. I'd love to hear from y'all - What's the best practice for collaborating on an activity browser project between several people? Kind regards, |

Hi, Great that you want to use the software! The short answer is that Activity Browser is not made for collaboration like this. A somewhat longer answer is: I'm afraid this is the best we can do right now, but good luck with your project! |

Hi,

A somewhat longer answer is:
You can change the Brightway data folder in
Project
>Settings
. However, as I said Activity Browser is not made for this, if anything goes wrong and you lose your data, we can probably not help you. Also note that while git is great, data in Brightway/Activity Browser is stored in binary files, so git will not show you changes within databases, only changes to databases and the size of your git repository may become quite large.I'm afraid this is the best we can do right now, but good luck with your project!
