Is there any way can compile appian code in local?

Question

I want to know if there is anyway can compile appian code in local? Or use git to manage the source code.(Source code not the package download from web). What problem we face is how to develop in parallel。 we are a huge team (100 developers). When we develop a new function, we usually need to use the same object. But appian can not develop in parallel. So we want to find if there is any way we can compile appian code in local.

Appian does not support local compilation or Git-based source code management for core objects. Development must be done directly on the Appian server, with objects locked when opened to prevent parallel edits on the same components. For large teams like 100 developers, multiple separate Appian environments with coordinated deployments are needed since true parallel development on the same objects is not possible(Essentially doing "parallel work on different features" rather than "parallel work on the same codebase).

There is no code compilation in Appian. Typical project teams are not more than 5 people. In my experience these issues just do not exist when developing with Appian.
