>>>>I have considered it but have found it difficult to navigate. Not to mention the volume of my project is large and has been changing offend. I have intended to update the download page as offend as I can with a history of corrections list. Can you suggest any web pages to better educate me on how to use GitHub?

>>>As Lutz said, step 1 is getting comfortable with Git. Rick Borup is the reason I started using version control. His introduction to Mercurial finally broke through for me. Here's his introduction to Git:

>>>FWIW, I don't like doing source control from the Command Window, so I'm using SourceTree as a wrapper for Git. If you go that route and you prefer not to convert your SCX/VCX files to text before committing them, be aware that I've written an add-on for SourceTree that lets you use Beyond Compare on those files.

>>Thank you very much. I am using Beyond Compare with FoxBin2Prg.app to generate comparable files.

>>Besides, I have developed a Hotkey to Clone the last backup (BAK) file as a version control. These are stored in my Google Drive folder. A simple Alt+C and the PRG/SCX/VCX is archived. Both the current and the last backup of the source are persevered.

>If you like to automate the FoxBin2Prg process a bit, check
https://github.com/lscheffler/bin2text. Its' purpose is to integrate with git, but it works well without, just creating the text files with a menu call. Fast, because it only touches files changed. Can be installed from Thor. And if you switch to git, it commits as well.
I have integrated into my new Profiler.app. You, and others, might be amazed. Check out new web site at VFPdev,com
