Restoring a gateway backup deleted the git repository at C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\data\projects. Ideally restoring a gateway backup would preserve any git files allowing the restore to trigger a new local commit.
Maybe I should implement git in another way? I am developing on a laptop with internet access and can connect my local machine's git to my employer's git, simultaneously handling version control and data backup. The development is for an OEM who is building the machine, and I'd prefer not to connect their machine to my employer's git repository. Most of the time I send gateway backups for the OEM to restore. Occasionally they make an edit that should be retained, which is why I'd like to restore a backup without breaking git.
Does the forum recommend I approach git integration differently? Or should I move this over to a feature request that restoring a gateway backup uses something like a .gitignore file to retain the git repository?
