Push Changes to Git Repo

Once the GitSync feature is configured, you can start pushing changes to the git repository on following points:

App Creation​

Whenever you create a new app, you will see an option to select the Commit changes. If you select the commit changes option, the changes will be committed to the git repository.

Note: If the app name is same as the name of an existing app in the git repo, it will overwrite the existing app in the git repo.

Selecting the Commit changes option will create a new commit in the git repository. The commit message will be App creation and the author will be the user who created the app.

During app creation, a .meta folder is generated, containing a meta.json file with details of the last commit. Then, an app folder is also created, storing v1.json, which holds app-specific details of v1 version.
