Git is a useful tool for developing a 4D project with version control. It allows convenient tracking of project files that can be collaborated on with other 4D developers. If a cloud synchronizing service such as Apple iCloud or Microsoft OneDrive is being used, avoid keeping any 4D projects initialized with Git in folders that at are synced with such services. This prevents any potential interference from iCloud/OneDrive and ensures the integrity of the local 4D project repository. If backup of the files is needed, a dedicated Git hosting service can be used. Alternatively, the repository can be manually backed up to an external drive.
