GitPLM Parts (KiCad Database ideas)

Projects
1

I’ve been experimenting with KiCad Database feature and captured a few ideas in this repo and am interested in feedback.

The goal is to create a Git-based database-driven workflow without requiring a central database server, network connections, or complex tooling. The result uses CSV files which can be easily edited in Libreoffice and SQLite as the database. I was surprised by how easily things came together. The database feature in KiCad is nicely done!

We are starting to use this in a real project and have added some parts and updated the documentation. So far, it is working really well!

All the libraries prefixed with #gplm are from the SQLite3 database.
