Sad introduction and help with .GitIgnore for Clarion

Hello
Sorry for you loss.
Version control with pure git does not work out of the box, as the .app files are binary files and git is text optimized.
See this thread

I am a single developer, so I just use my backup history to compare or roll back when needed (Had some really bad experience with the Clarion generated text import and export back in the Clarion 6 days)
