KerbalGit 0.3.0 released with support for KSP 1.1 and Unity 5. Make sure to pick the correct libgit2 binary, depending on if you run KSP in 32-bit or 64-bit mode.

To avoid that problem you could move your repository so it's not stored in the saves folder. Run the following in the saves folder: git init --separate-git-dir=../saves.git This will move the .git folder up to ksp folder as saves.git/ and leave a .git file that links to the repository so the working dir is still connected. I made a plugin called KerbalGit, that sets up a git repo for the saves folder and automatically commits on certain events.

I got tired of messing up missions and not being able to revert to a good point, so I made a simple plugin to version control the saves directory using Git. Jebretary is probably a better choice for most people, but if you know your way around Git and just want a simple plugin that does commits, then maybe KerbalGit can be of use. https://github.com/kria/KerbalGit The plugin is very basic and doesn't have a UI. Don't install KerbalGit unless you are comfortable using Git! When first run, the plugin will set up a Git repository for the saves/ directory. The .git/ directory itself is placed in GameData/KerbalGit/. The plugin is invoked and commits changes on three events: autosave quicksave (F5) save in VAB/SPH OS support I have only tried KerbalGit on Windows. The plugin uses LibGit2Sharp 0.17 which relies on the the native library libgit2. A Windows binary (git2-06d772d.dll) is included, but separate builds are needed for Linux and OSX. Installation Get the latest release. Copy GameData/KerbalGit/ to your KSP directory. Copy git2-06d772d.dll (on Windows) to the root of your KSP directory. Pick the correct one from NativeBinaries/ depending on if you run KSP in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Configuration You can exclude any files and directories that you don't want to have under version control in saves/.gitignore. In GameData/KerbalGit/settings.cfg, you can set the minimum interval (in seconds) between commits and the committer's name and email.
