Components can also be configured to be stored as plain folders or submodules within the single Git repository for the entire Git Instance.
Configuring a component as a Plain Folder means:
Simplified Repository Management: A single Git Instance repository tracks all components, simplifying setup, maintenance, and backups.
Holistic View: Commits are stored within the component project file in your Git Instance repository. Commits can be viewed on the Dashboard and Component Commit Histories.
Reuse component projects: You can use another component’s latest commit as a method to template interfaces and share code.
Libraries cannot be shared across projects: Available libraries can be imported into projects, however they are imported as plain folders, therefore updates cannot be made to libraries used across projects.
