I did a post a few months ago on Getting Started with GIT Connections and PowerApps, and when I was demoing this functionality to some users, the question came up regarding editing data from the GIT repository back to PowerApps (or was this only a one way highway).

In this scenario, I navigated to my account form and decided to do something simple like change the name of a field. Nothing crazy, I added “Distribution” into the name of my folder.

When I went back to PowerApps, I could then see that there was a conflict from my change coming in from GIT.

Obviously I chose to “Accept Incoming Changes” 🙂

And from there I could see there was now an update available.

One click the Pull button later.

Now in between this step, I had to do a Publish, which felt kind of odd and perhaps an added step outside of GIT, but there it was.

Side note: I’d like for there to be a way to get rid of these stacked notifications, love them, but when they get to 5, start deleting the first one.

After my publish I now see my updated field name.

Are there better uses then this?

Oh yes, think about all the time saving with image updates and javascript resources which can be a massive pain to do over and over again – this is great.
