Many PLC programs either store their project code in XML, L5K or L5X (for
example), TXT, CSV, or some other text format or can import and export to
text forms. If you have a directory structure that represents your project,
and the file formats have reasonable line separators so that diffs can be
done easily, git very likely would work out for you. You do not have to have
the local .git repository in the same directory as your working area if your
tool has issues with that or .gitignore. You may want to use a GUI client to
manage your local repository and handle the commit/push/pull/merge/rebase
functions as I expect whatever PLC system you are using does not have git
built-in.

To store binary PLC data natively, which some tools use, I expect that those
who are better at git-conjuring than I, could provide guidance on how to
automate binary diffs for your tool's particular file format.

Cheers,
