Hello,

I have a large workspace and there will be more developers that will develop it.

I was wondering if we can use Git from inside the workbench.

A visual diff that would identify changes in nodes and their properties, like e.g. Node-RED does, would be extremely useful.

We already have the project in Git and treat it like a binary file.

Not yet but there is apparently a diff tool in the works. I'm not sure if it will be able to integrate with git but it should make reviewing changes easier.

As for being able to work on multiple features in various branches and merge together this is unlikely to be supported anytime soon from what I understand bit we can hope!

I can only say that you should look out for FME 2022 ;-)


OK, thanks guys! Let's wait for it.. 😅

I asked a related question a few months ago and here is an answer from Safe:

I won't go into detail as I'm not sure how public it is, but at the Partner summit two days ago I got some fairly substantial info about some functionality coming to 2022.0, then with more stuff being added through 2022.x. Lots of very important and cool stuff coming :-)


Great to hear - If FME can work with gitflow it would be pretty game changing for me
