This is an attempt to show how we can work on new features in its own app version or even on a different Joget server by making use of GIT.

Beware that there are GIT commands used in this article, so, make sure that you are comfortable working around GIT.

This is so each feature development would be carried out without the influence of another feature being developed at the same time.

In this example, we have a "Meeting" app and the table below describes works to be carried out.

1Modify request form.
2Add calendar menu to the app.

When all features are developed and tested in v1 and v2, we are now ready to merge them. To preserve the work already done, we will clone v2 into a new copy, v3. Then we will attempt to perform the merging in v3 itself.

As shown in figure 2 below, bring up the "App Configuration Management" screen, select version 2, and click on "New Version".

Once the version is created, navigate to the newly created version ( i.e. wflow/app_arc/meeting/meeting_3 ) from your command line. We are going to merge v1 and v3 through GIT commands below.

Once we have merged them, if there are any conflicts, we will need to resolve them. In the figure shown below, we can see that there are 4 conflicted files.

In this case, we are making use of Visual Studio Code to inspecting the conflicted files and resolve them.

We can check the server log for sync completion. Once it is done, we can then inspect the app again to make sure that everything in v1 and v2 is merged properly in v3.
