You'd think that there is a positive ROI to providing git integration in Flare.
I am sure the MadCappers did the math, there may be ROI for you and many others, but that may not mean ROI for MadCap. As sad as it sounds, well managed companies do not chase every opportunity. I came across a few ...

Paul Pehrson offers some very reasonably priced training courses. Check out http://www.paulpehrson.com/docguy-training/ .

Also, although you said you don't think books offer good training (an opinion I don't share), Lorraine Kupka's reasonably priced "Five Steps to MadCap Flare" has an excellent ...

a) Is it possible to pull down (from source control - we use git), a MadCap project to make some text edits to the XML
b) Compile the project directly from MadCap's CLI

I am presuming that MadCap uses some ...

Considering that this conversation about git integration has been going on for over three years (and three major revisions), should I be concerned that MadCap doesn't listen to their customers?
