I use Bin2Text as a menu to just generate the text-files out of the project(s) and create the commits / create the binaries out of the text files.
This works with me for years. Just start the command and it will create the text files out of the pjx, even a bit of caching to avoid creating the same files over and over is added.
It also creates the git commit.
It's just a wrapper for FoxBin2Text available on VFPX / THOR
