Nevertheless, as a result there is always discrepancy between the files in the source and those in the `.local` folder. This causes problems every time a new firmware is released and one of us (usually @nunoguedelha) has to perform by hand what git is supposed to do, i.e. version control on the `.local` files, guessing who did what and why (\"*who changed the resolution of the DragonFly cameras???*\") copy (again by hand) the modifications on the source folder, open a pull request and have it merged before performing a firmware update. I think it is quite a long pipeline and very error prone.\r\nSo the question is, why can't we modify and commit directly the source folder? Every robot has already its own folder, and git can help understanding who changed what and when. What is the drawback for such a solution?\r\n@DanielePucci @traversaro "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/robotology/robots-configuration/issues/comments/351660752","html_url":"https://github.com/robotology/robots-configuration/issues/55#issuecomment-351660752","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/robotology/robots-configuration/issues/55","id":351660752,"user":{"login":"pattacini","id":3738070,"avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/3738070?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini","html_url":"https://github.com/pattacini","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/pattacini/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-12-14T09:47:58Z","updated_at":"2017-12-14T09:47:58Z","author_association":"OWNER","body":"@S-Dafarra I honestly don't like suck kind of hacking; it's very borderline ;)"}}
