Launched: 🧰 New Git workflow in Modeling 4.0

Note: This update is for users who have enabled the Git workflow. If you’re using the default Non-Git workflow in Modeling 4.0, this update won’t affect you.

Hi all :raising_hand_man: ,

A while ago we rolled out the Git workflow. Such a workflow has proven useful in bringing the engineering best practices to your analytics development.

However, if you’re familiar with this workflow, you may have found it somewhat cumbersome:

  • Too many intermediate steps:
    • You had to click through several “blue buttons” before accessing the latest version of your work branch
    • Sometimes, you just wanted to publish without worrying about those steps, but still had to endless clicking until there was no button left.
  • Also, what’s the deal with “Remote”? Why is it necessary to manually push and pull changes each time?

:arrow_right: So we have made things simpler:

  • Holistics will automatically pull and push changes to the Remote repository, so you can work with the latest version right away
  • Plus, Holistics will auto-pull from Production when you publish, ensuring you’re up-to-date.

No need to worry about “Remote,” “Local,” or any of that jargon.

Just make your changes, commit them for everyone to see in the workspace, and publish when you’re ready. It’s that simple :hand_with_index_finger_and_thumb_crossed:!
