OutSystems is not really a front-end friend, it's more like a distant cousin when comparing it with other low-code platforms.

My idea is to have a way to retrieve a specific folder from the project to our local machines / laptop similar to how Github works.

Using a fetch command we would retrieve the files to a local directory on our laptop.

This would give us access directly to implement our own front-end development workflows such as using Visual Studio Code do work with other tools such as TypeScript or SASS. 

Using a commit/publish/push command would allow us to update specific files/folders to the OutSystems Server with the code to use on the project.

All the compiling would be done on our local machine.

This would also allow front-end developers to integrate tools such as Grunt to automate processes and speed up our workflows.
