Objects changes their .gsm file to an old version (with suffix _REMOTE, _BASE, _LOCAL)

Hello,

I am editing a GDL object that is part of a loaded library.

When saving the code (CTRL+S in the GDL editor) the placed objects changes their .gsm file to an old version.

What is happening is that when i save the .gsm file, a new version of that file is created in the library with the same name but with the suffix _LOCAL, _REMOTE or _BASE added to the name. This .gsm file contains the old version of the GDL-code (before the save). I think this is meant as some kind of backup, I don't understand the rules for what suffix is chosen.

But what is annoying is that the placed objects will use this backup of the .gsm file, so I won't be able to see the changes unless I place a new object.

I don't understand this functionality and it occurs about half the time I'm editing and saving the GDL-code. I don't want the objects to change their .gsm file, I don't even really want backups to be created (_REMOTE, _BASE, _LOCAL), Is there a setting for this?

This was related to GIT, not Archicad.

There seems to be some automatic backup made for binary files.

Just disabled it using this command:

git config --global mergetool.keepBackup false
