Question

photoshop + git

What I would like to end up with, is pushing to a git from my computer, and have 50 computers updated.

 

Is it possible to download and use files from a git repository from inside Photoshop?

And if so, how would you do it? 🙂

 

This 6 year old thread talking about live-syncing scripts says the best thing to do is essentially:

  1. make your own folder somewhere
  2. setup sync from git to that folder
  3. make an action set in photoshop
  4. create an action per file you want to run in photoshop

 

When you replace the file in the folder, you have immediately done your update.

I don't really need the 'live' part part, could be on next restart (be it computer or photoshop)...

 

I'm going to give it a good ol' try myself and post any interesting finds here. Feel free to join the fun and post your tips, snippets...

In Photoshop you can load delete and edit actions in the Action Palette at any time.  However there is no Script Palette in Photoshop.  You can not loads delete and Edit Scripts in Photoshop in a Scripts Palette for there is no Scripts Palette. There is only a Scripts Names List that can not be changed.   However, there is an extension that will add  ScriptsSet launching Palette to Photoshop as an extension.  In the extension you have an option to select a folder that contains a set of Photoshop scripts to be loaded into the extension window.  So the extension windows is like  a ScriptsSet.  The is no control other then Loads  ScriptSet by selection your Script Set folder.   The is no record,  delete, edit, add options.  You can with a text editor edit Scripts in the Selected folder, Add scripts to the folder and with the files system delete  scripts in the folder.  The Palette window will not reflect Script haves been Added, deleter  or edited.   It is more or less like Photoshop  Script Names List, changes  are not reflected in the list.  Changed script will execute, Delete Scripts will fail to be found and added scripts will not be in the ScriptSet list. Like Adobe's menu File>Scripts>ScriptNameList.  The Photoshop Script Name List is initialized when Photoshop loaded.  The only way to change Photoshop Script Names List  it the Reload Photoshop  so delete script will not be added to the script name list and Added scripts will be added the the list.  The Extension ScriptSet list however can be  changed anytime you need it to be by selecting the ScriptSet you currently want to use  so you can change the set and select the changed set.  The major problem is Adobe changed extension UI panel interface  and the extension was not updated in a way it its Palette Window Size can be change like in older Photoshop versions. If you ScriptSet is large it will be better if the Palette Windows could be sized larger.  Still the extension scroll the List better then Adobe scroll the Scripts Name list.  Adobe scroll the list one name are a time.  That why I use  Windows File explored to run Photoshop scripts from   Adobe's  menu  File>Scripts>ScriptName is painful to use when you have a large collection of Photoshop scripts.
