Git XL does not require Excel as it works directly on the workbook file.\n\nWith Git XL installed, Git can diff Excel VBA just like any other source code file.\n\nIt is written in Python, with pre-compiled binaries available for Windows.\n\nInstallation instructions and docs are available at [https://www.xltrail.com/git-xl](https://www.xltrail.com/git-xl).\n\n\n## Getting Started \n\n### Installation\nYou can install the Git XL client on Windows, using the pre-compiled binary installer.\n\nThis repository can also be built-from-source using Python and PyInstaller.\n\nGit XL requires a global installation once per-machine. This can be done by\nrunning:\n\n```\nC:\\Developer\u003egit xl install\n```\n\nAlternatively, initialise Git XL locally (per repository), using the --local option, inside the root folder of your repository’s local working copy:\n\n```\nC:\\Developer\u003egit xl install --local\n```\n\n### Usage\n\n#### Diff workbooks\n\nGet meaningful `git diff` output when comparing Excel workbook files containing VBA code.\n\n```diff\nC:\\Developer\u003egit diff dev..master\ndiff --xl a/Book1.xlsb b/Book1.xlsb\n--- a/Book1.xlsb/VBA/Module/Module1\n+++ b/Book1.xlsb/VBA/Module/Module1\n@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@\n Option Explicit\n Public Function Version() As String\n-   Version = \"v1.0\"\n+   Version = \"v1.1\"\n End Function\n```\n\n## Docs\n\nDocs are available at [https://www.xltrail.com/git-xl](https://www.xltrail.com/git-xl).\n\n\n## Contributing\n\nPlease [open a new issue](https://github.com/xlwings/git-xl/issues) to report bugs or [create a pull request](https://github.com/xlwings/git-xl/pulls) to send patches.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxltrail%2Fgit-xl","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fxltrail%2Fgit-xl","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxltrail%2Fgit-xl/lists"}
