Hi guys,
Our company is looking to launch a DevOps process and considering using Git.
As you all know, the work we normally do on the Salesforce Platform includes a mix of both:
- Implementation (no code) - Managed by Implementers
- and Code - Managed by Developers
It seems to me like Git is more dedicated to Development work, and not to Implementation, and I have many concerns that using Git will make our Implementers/Implementation job much more complex and time-consuming than they should be.
Anyone has any experience with using Git for Implementation and can share this with me?
Thank you,
Yossi
Hi Yossi,
I agree that if Implementation team is asked to save the work in Git then it is a definitely one more step to do. However, the benefits which this one step will add towards unification of processes in salesforce ecosystem should also be difficult to ignore.
There are many ways you can achieve this and I am assuming that you are aware of all different ways. In case you do SFDX approach, it will be Git commands ( but trust me, these are not difficult/complex and couple of weeks practise can make you learn it) and also now source tracking sandboxes are available as a feature.
Alternatively, there are many tools which allows this to be done through nice user interfaces so that you don't need to remember or learn any Git commands. Either of these ways, the benefits of putting your changes into source control will get immense value to your organisation.
