[AccessD] Source Control

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Ryan

Then I would use GitHub. Have a function that export your modules and calls GitHub command line to commit and push the changed files.
I have all my newest public code on GitHub, though I don't use the command line tool:

That’s what I do as well. I’d just like to be able to “diff” code sometimes and it makes it  a pain to do.

All I've been doing is making sure I have stable accdb files, and if I do any large code overhaul I have a function that runs DoCmd.TransferText on all the forms to get the code so I can run it through my GIT repo.
