 If you want to use the content from a model that has previously been exported to GIT using the plugin, then you can use the import plugin to create a new model in Archi that represents the model saved to GIT that you can then change and update and version back to GIT again.

+Welcome to the Archi GIT plugin wiki. This is where you can find out what you need to know about how to use the plugin, how it works and where it may go in the future.
+
+Summary
+-------
+Archi is a fantastic open source tool for creating ArchiMate models, however it has a restriction that limits is usefulness for teams and that is that the model content can only be saved into a local file.
+
+This plugin aims to make the content held in the local file able to be shared via a GIT repository that is integrated with Archi via a plugin. This way Archi users can work on models in a distributed and independent manner exactly as they do today, however if they want to version their model and/or share it with others they can export the content into a GIT repository or import from a previously exported GIT repository.
+
+How Does It Work?
+-----------------
+What the plugin does is take the elements in your Archi ArchiMate model and create separate files representing the different types of elements and then save these to GIT. You can think of if as taking each of the graphical elements you see in your Archi folders and creating a file for each one that is committed to a GIT repository.
+
+If you want to use the content from a model that has previously been exported to GIT using the plugin, then you can use the import plugin to create a new model in Archi that represents the model saved to GIT that you can then change and update and version back to GIT again.
