Version Control with Git

Zinley's Git Integration makes managing your project’s version control easy and automatic. Whether you're updating code, adding files, or generating assets, Zinley ensures everything is tracked in Git so you can focus on building your project without worrying about version control.

How Git Integration Works

Zinley automatically handles all your Git version control needs, including:

Tracking code changes
Adding new files
Fixing bugs
Managing dependencies
Generating images and other assets

This process happens in the background, without needing any manual intervention, making sure your workflow stays smooth.

Automatic Commits

Every significant action in your project is automatically committed to your Git repository. This includes:

Code edits
New file creation
Bug fixes
Managing dependencies
Asset generation (like images)

Zinley generates clear, meaningful commit messages for each action, so you always have a clean and understandable commit history.

Combine Automatic and Manual Workflow

Zinley integrates seamlessly with any manual Git work you do. Here's how:

It recognizes your manual commits and incorporates them into the version history.
You can freely switch between automatic and manual operations without losing any changes.
Zinley helps you navigate between different versions of your project with ease.

Navigating Versions

Zinley makes it easy to explore your project's history. Follow these steps to see or switch to previous versions:

Open the version control panel by clicking the bottom right corner of the Zinley interface.
View your commit history: In the panel, you’ll see a list of all versions (commits) of your project.
Switch to a specific version: Just click on any version to load that point in your project’s timeline.

This allows you to:

Review older versions of your project.
Work on previous versions if needed.
Create new branches from any version in your history.

Tip: Be cautious when working on older versions—new commits from those versions can overwrite more recent work if that's your intent.

Things to Keep in Mind

While Zinley's Git integration offers powerful automation, here are a few things to consider:

Overwriting Work: Be mindful when switching to older versions, as new commits from those versions can overwrite your latest work.
Commit History Review: Regularly check your commit history to ensure it matches your project goals.

By using Zinley’s Git Integration, you can streamline your development process, automatically track changes, and maintain a clean version history without extra effort.
