GitHub 4D Awesome List — Call for Contributions

To stay competitive in the software industry, one should always seek innovation and build momentum for change.

In that spirit, 4D has always given you the right technology to grow and expand. Project mode is one example that comes with a tremendous benefit: the ability to use Git to get your 4D application up and running in a more productive development environment.

So we decided to create a 4D Awesome list, where we gather all the collective wisdom in one place to make 4D developers’ life a little easier.

If you’re a Git/GitHub user and have a fantastic project that you believe could help fellow developers, you might want to contribute to the 4D Awesome list, where awesome projects live!

This blog post explains the concept of an Awesome list and how you can contribute.

4D and Git: From Beginner to Expert

So by now, you know that projects come with a tremendous benefit: the ability to use Git (the revision control system) and GitHub (the hosting service) to get your 4D application up and running in a more productive development environment.

Newbie or full-fledged senior developer version control has been a staple in every work environment where multiple resources collaborate to participate in what could be called a software chain of production.

To help you get familiar with Git, we’ve made available many resources at your disposal. This blog post is a compilation of everything we’ve provided on this topic… so far. If you feel lost and don’t know where to start, keep reading; we’ve included:

  • other blog posts,
  • a detailed guide,
  • a top-rated summit video,
  • and even a training course.

How to take advantage of GitHub actions with 4D

Your project is now on a source control system. This means that managing several versions of your software, monitoring changes, and integrating corrections or new features is much simpler now.

Why not also take advantage of continuous integration?

Starting with 4D v19, you can launch the compilation of your project with a command. As a result, you now have all the building blocks needed to automate your integration chain.

This blog post will give you an example of automation with the GitHub manager and GitHub Actions.
