I've read the basics concepts of GIT. Now I started by installing Bin2FoxPrg. Now I can convert my forms, classlibs, etc. into text versions.

I guess I'll give GitKraKen a try since I want my version control system to be as automated as it can be. But I guess that the process of making my source code into Git would be more or less manual. Am I wrong? Or perhaps is there another tool from the VFP side that can this process automated?

TIA
