Gitea does not recognize .slx models as binary files and changes can not be seen.

Hi.

I've followed step by step the process described at https://es.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/set-up-git-source-control.html

for integrating uploading my files to a git repository but my .slx are not recognized as binary files in the repository. What's wrong with it ? Can you give some guidance please.

Image attached below, I must hide the name of the file due to confindentiallity politics.

Hello Edison,

I understand that you are encountering issues with using Git source control for SLX files in MATLAB. If your MATLAB version is earlier than R2020b, I suggest installing a command-line Git client to enable branch merging within MATLAB. For more information on this, I recommend following the 'Install Command-Line Client' subsection using the following link:

Additionally, please ensure that your folder contains a .gitattributes file with the following line:

*.slx binary

This will help Git handle SLX files correctly. For a recommended workflow when using git-based version control with SLX files, consider using Simulink Projects. You can find more information about this by referring to the following link: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/using-a-simulink-project-with-git.html

I hope this resolves your query.

Hi.

First of all thank you for your answer.

I'm acutally using MATLAB R2023b so I think I don't need to install a command-line Git client. I've already added .gitattributes files to my remote repository but the .slx files still not read as binary.

I attach an image showing the content of my repository where the .slx files are inside the folder RFSoC_Proxy_FPGA. In the image It's also shown the content of .gitattributes.
