Imagine using GitHub and Visual Studio Code with the text formulas of a Canvas app. Teams can collaborate on apps: they can work on private branches, diff changes, create pull requests for review, and merge into master. We are very pleased to announce the experimental release of a tool that enables these modern miracles. It is but the first step as we make application lifecycle management easier for formulas and Canvas apps.
