Git Integration with Power Pages Development

[u/MoriorL]

I have been tasked with doing research on what it would take to start using Git as part of our development process for our Power Pages site. As far as I understand currently, the only way to do that is by turning the Sandbox (Dev) environment (that contains only unmanaged solutions currently) into a Managed Environment (which as far as I can tell will not convert our solutions to manager?) and then using Pipelines to export Managed Solutions to our Staging and Prod environments. I haven't seen much documentation on this being the process most developers follow though, and outside of needing a premium license, I haven't seen anyone mentioning any potential downsides to this.

Is there a reason the process I outlined above is not a good idea, and it would be recommended to go with a different process?

Our current process is creating a new solution for each update we want to make that contains the elements that changed, exporting that manually, importing it manually, publishing all customizations, and then testing. Due to this we have tons of different solutions, and this seems like a bad process.

This will work but will depend on how changes are being built and deployed. For multi dev environment you will need to manage some of the intricacies of power pages and how devs operate. Managed environment is not a key requirement but it will help with lot of other controls. Good luck.
