Onshape for Code development

I'm sitting here with the GitHub tool, trying to understand yet another Youtube video on how to develop with Git.

Commit, add, command line tools, pull requests etc etc. Just so complicated compared to Onshape.

Why not take the Onshape approach to coding? It would be so great!
I bet you would have loads of users in notime!

Oncode?

    @jonas_forssell - Glad you like our versioning, branching and merging :)
    That said, we drew inspiration from Git (github) - and yes, we use Git here for our own stuff.
    So really, what i am saying is, hang in there, you will get it working for you :)
    Good luck.

    Thanks!

    Scalability requirements for large mechanical engineering projects are a bit different than for large software engineering projects -- and we're optimizing for the former.  So for relatively small amounts of code, the Onshape model is great, but for larger software engineering work, powering through learning git is helpful.
    That said, we do have Onshape for coding: https://www.onshape.com/featurescript  :)
