I see Source Control is not a new subject. Can you provide an update as to where you are at with providing this functionality?

Thank you,

Rena

Nope, not a new topic… just one that seems to hit about a month before ICC every year 😄

I would like to give this post a bump, so to speak, and see where things are at too. There was this statement a few years back, but my quick searches are not bringing anything forward:

> [@Any progress on version control system for Ignition?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/any-progress-on-version-control-system-for-ignition/15333/2):
>
> this is definitely on our minds as we work on Ignition 8

If there is no integration with 3rd party source control, what is the recommended way of controlling a project's source outside of the simple backup before starting changes and again before deployment, with possible Development/Stage/Production servers in place?

Thank you,

Matt
