Not sure what you mean. You can (and should) use version control (i.e github)
The fact that its not part of bga - its actually not big deal at all. Yes it would be nice to have integrated remove dev env, but definely not deal breaker
(I used my own git for last 7 years).

It was just an example and it's a bit off-topic, but I don't mind continuing the discussion about it.

How do you work with other people on the same project then?

You have several options :
- share one repo if you dont work at the same time of the day : I do that on couple light games where I splitted front/back end with another dev
- have a separated repo with a similar name like "arknovatisaac" and :
- either have another branch where you rename "arknova" to "arknovatisaac" : you just need to rebase from time to time to take into account what the other one did. Thoun has been doing that on KoT with success
- or use a script that rename on the fly : I am personnally doing that on all my shared projects, using a small bash script that will find and rename before running rsync. The only downside is that rsync is slower than a good old "upload on save" plugin on vscode for instance
