Version Control

Zoo is currently developing a PLM-style version control system on top of its Projects API, but it is still under development, and set to be rolled out toward the end of 2026.

However, since Zoo projects are just human-readable text files, version control systems like Git work great with them!

You should be able to use whatever version control system you prefer within a Zoo project's folder, and our systems like Cloud Sync will ignore the version control metadata and files from its syncing.

What happens when you publish a version-controlled project

Publishing a Directory project to Aquarium moves the entire project folder into Personal Cloud after a successful submission. Local version-control metadata moves with the folder, but it may surprise you to find that your project moved on your computer, so don't be alarmed the project is just in a new folder on your computer, which you can find under Libraries in your settings.
