SAS EG is a Windows client and the EG project (.egp) is stored on the client side. This excludes principally both UNIX and using SAS (unless you've got a locally installed SAS).

There are ways to version code:

If you're using a recent EG version then also look-up in the EG help what's documented for "File Comparison" and "Program History".

All versioning systems work with text files, as differences (deltas) can easily be determined. The compressed format of the egp (hierarchical collection of xml and text in a zip archive) does not lend itself to versioning (the whole binary content of the archive changes).

So, instead of versioning projects, you should start versioning SAS codes.

Please, there is a File Comparison Tool with SAS EG 7.1 likes WinMerge, KDiff 3 or Beyond Compare 3

or other ?
