If you opt to disable the Git in Joget DX, you can delete the ".\wflow\app_src" folder content to save some hard disk space in your development servers.
Managing version
Synchronizing app builder JSON files with each save request creates a lot of push history. Managing versions has made it possible for tedious tasks to be performed such as tracking, reverting, merging, and clone code from GitHub
One can find the documentation of managing version from the training slides entitled "12-Version Control" which can be obtained from our Joget Academy at https://academy.joget.org/course/jogetdx8trainingslides
