We want to set up a better way of tracking maintenance on items and equipment. I was tasked to figure out a way to do this and I think I have a potential solution in using git version control.</div>

I tested out a git server / client setup on my personal devices and I can say they all work. I tested iOS successfully with a terminal-based solution. I have not tested Android directly, but I expect the terminal-based solution to work. </div>

My next step is to ask you all if setting up a local git server here at JLab will be a problem. I do not see a need to have it exposed to the internet, keeping it accessible to the internal network only will be sufficient. Accessibility through a VPN would
be great.</div>

I am also meeting with Gary and the software group on Wednesday morning to discuss adapting Cav History for maintenance tracking on virtually any item in CEBAF. I have to look at both alternatives (git vs. an in-house software solution) as they both have their
drawbacks; automating git on mobile is still rather clunky and developing our own software is a significant labor investment. For now, the git solution looks faster and easier, and I want to know if there's any technical or security problems with my idea.</div>
