Robert, What I was dropping not-so-subtle hints about is working out the interface for the GitHub API, which I found - unwelcoming, to support exporting directly to GitHub from 4D and allowing me to pull from it as well. All the tools for this are already in 4D, it's just a matter of working out the API interface. Or so it seems. The inner workings of GitHub are still a bit mysterious to me and and the API docs didn't do anything to clarify it for me. But it seems like something that's doable.
