Too Legit to (Git) Commit?

Git commits serve as documentation and facilitate collaboration. Salesforce developers face challenges with Git and source control.

With this article, learn the importance of committing frequently in Git, how it serves as documentation and facilitates collaboration, and why it's particularly relevant for Salesforce developers.

Here are our 5 Key Takeaways:

- Committing frequently in Git serves as documentation of where something broke and why, and helps facilitate better collaboration between colleagues.

- Continuous commits allow you to see what someone was thinking and how they arrived at something in a natural and telling way.

- Git commits also serve as useful check points that will help you understand how you broke something.

- Salesforce developers have a dual challenge with Git and source control, and it's important to get declarative changes at a regular interval just as you would with a change to Apex.

- Tools like Blue Canvas can help by making automatic commits to your repo for declarative changes.
