Version Control like Git?

We're doing a half-way version with Azure Dev Ops pipelines which sticks items in repo. Problems occur though if attempting to get back to point in time because of recordtypes / database and service dependencies / and pull request per user story became a nightmare with some items passing testing but not all, etc.

IMHO the main reason for git is decentralized development in potentially large teams.

Development in Appian in centralized and in small teams, so I do not see any need.

When changing objects, I typically do not just change that one object, but follow the chain of dependencies and adjust them to work with the changes.

Appian lacks native Git branching - teams share one dev environment with object versioning.
Workaround - Prefix-clone the objects being refactored (e.g., v2_myProcess), work on clones, swap references when done, delete old ones.
For refactors, use AVM plugin
