This is a fantastic idea and one that is mentioned here (please add your comments):

With the current FME Server Version Control functionality, our team shared that: pushing files from GitHub to FME Server (ie *pulling* from a remote Git) is not possible as of right now for a couple of reasons:
- We cannot bypass the Publishing Wizard which is responsible for dictating how FME Server will run the workspace (updating the database, registering services, allocated resources etc). In fact, a user can't just drop a workspace into the repository home folder which is what pulling does. FME Server will see that the workspace doesn't exist because the database does not contain that workspace.
- Pulling leaves the risk of merge conflicts which would require manually editing of the .fmw files which is obviously very difficult. More info here: https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/ebook/en/command-line/advanced-topics/merge-conflicts
