GitHub VSCode Zeiss Inspect

[[De...]]

Was wondering if anyone has any experience using GitHub / VS-Code / with Zeiss Inspect Apps. 
I am a little new to GitHub and would like to replicate what I see on 

https://github.com/ZEISS/zeiss-inspect-app-examples

I have a ton of scripts and it would be really helpful to utilize github to record changes, documentation...etc. 
I have a company GitHub account,  installed the vscode extension, git for windows, and am referencing: 
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/sourcecontrol/github

I'm just a little unsure how everything works with the Apps and the Edit Mode.

I use GitHub with VSCode to controls revisions of a custom python application that I have developed for internal usage. 

The integration is somewhat straightforward. I would recommend getting the GitHub Desktop application. 

Feel free to reach out via PM, so I can assist more.

I guess i'm wondering about the App & edit mode & the best way to navigate this... 
if the app is in edit mode its a regular folder structure with a unique ID as subfolder (dont know if this changes...? )
when its not in edit mode the app is a .addon (essentially a .zip file).

should I be using the or the public_folder/gom_addons as the repository. (can Github extract the .addon zip structure?)
or should I use the the public_folder/gom_edited_addons as the repository with the unique ID subfolder (that might change every time its edited?)

 There is another way of handling ZEISS INSPECT Apps:

Just keep your App in some folder (e.g. Documents\apps\my_app and set up Documents\apps as Connected Folder in the App Explorer. This way you can edit/run your App from ZEISS INSPECT and edit, use source control etc. from VSCode. (Note: You can export the App from a connected folder, but you cannot "Finalize" it.)

Just keep in mind that you might have to run gom.script.sys.update_addon_database() (from any App or configured as a menu item) to make changes made externally visible in the App Explorer.
