Have you looked at the best practices whitepaper:  
[Ignition 8 Deployment Best Practices](https://inductiveautomation.com/resources/article/ignition-8-deployment-best-practices)

The Scripting -\> Project Library scripts end up in /data/projects//ignition/script-python//code.py

If you have set your repo at the projects level or the projects/ level then that folder (and code) should be included.

Scripts that are part of a view are embedded in the view.json

```auto
{
        "events": {
          "dom": {
            "onClick": {
              "config": {
                "script": "\tpass"
              },
              "scope": "G",
              "type": "script"
            }
          }
        },
        "meta": {
          "name": "Button"
        },
        "position": {
          "basis": "80px"
        },
        "scripts": {
          "customMethods": [
            {
              "name": "newMethod",
              "params": [],
              "script": "\t# implement your method here\n\tpass"
            }
          ],
          "extensionFunctions": null,
          "messageHandlers": [
            {
              "messageType": "type-name-here",
              "pageScope": true,
              "script": "\t# implement your handler here\n\tpass",
              "sessionScope": false,
              "viewScope": false
            }
          ]
        },
        "type": "ia.input.button"
      }

```

Session scripts end up in data.bin. Despite the name it is human readable (and diffable) JSON.

Also, check out the Git Extension described here: [Module Git - Easy integration of git for your development](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/module-git-easy-integration-of-git-for-your-development/72033)  
It is really good.
