I am not uploading directly from 4D. I thought about implementing that but decided against it since 4D is going that direction them selves. Waiting to see what they come up with.
My workflow is to use the Code Analysis component to export all my code, 4D Structure and form properties (gathered using 4Dās get functions) all into a single folder. I then use an external git client to commit changes in that folder to a git repository I make sure that I do a commit per bug/feature. When I do my commit I include the task id from the bug reporting system that I use so I have a complete reference on why certain methods were updated. I use the external git client for diffs against historical commits and I use the Code Analysis component for diffs between what is in the 4D structure compares against the last export to the external folder. Works quite well. Definitely a few extra steps but benefits to be able to go back in time and see the change history tied to code commit is amazingly useful. I ran into an issue where I needed to find out when a particular bug was introduced. I was able to use the repository to find the exact commit that introduced the bug, what the original (and correct code) used to be and what else was changed in that commit. Save me hours and hours of banging my head on the keyboard.
