As discussed in the community in the past, managing migrations of Skuid pages/pageassignments/etc. can be difficult. Additionally, tracking pages in a VCS is challenging and often times, what I’ve heard is that a lot of users building Skuid based pages/apps have a dedicated sandbox org that always contains the “truth” (aka. latest version).
With the introduction of Custom Metadata in Summer '15 and enhancements coming in Winter '16 (native ui support, enhanced permission management, etc.), my thinking is that this might be a great solution to overcoming some of these challenges.
I’m curious if leveraging Custom Metadata would be a fit for pages, page assignments, etc., if this has been explored/evaluated yet and if so, what the future might hold?
Thanks!
I’m not too worried about me. It’s everyone else I typically work with.
Even the other folks you work with can handle the command line. It’s really just memorizing (or keeping a list) of 1/2 a dozen commands. The CLI may feel intimidating at first (it certainly did to me, I avoided it for a long time), but in the end I’ve found it to be much easier to work with than any of the graphic tools.
For you team to learn “when I finish making changes to my page, i go to the little black box and type ‘skuid-pull’” is not really any harder than learning to build a page pack, right?
I’m not too worried about the ability to use Skuid CLI in a bubble. It’s more about getting users who’ve never used VCS of any kind to know how to do git on a local machine to begin with. This is/was especially significant when the project timeline allowed for only 2 weeks to get Agile Development, SDLC and VCS up and running.
My desire is to get VCS integration done declaratively. Like Skuid. 
Yep!
