git & application automation

[xyz_1011]

Hej all,

we are not in Qlik Cloud yet an i am wondering, if there is a list of available blocks to use within application automation when interacting with git.

Hi @xyz_1011 

We have  GitHub version control templates that can commit a Qlik Sense app to Github to perform versioning.

You can find it by navigating to Add new -> New automation -> Search templates and search for 'Import an app from GitHub' Or 'Commit an app to GitHub' in the search bar and click on the Use template option in order to use it in the automation

I would suggest you refer to below articles which might be helpful
