Love your feedback! Thanks.
We plan to have a set of policies to allow the developer to freely work within those policies so we can merge the code back to Amplication and even deploy the app with the custom code. There is a still way to go to get there...
Meanwhile, we let the developer manage the merges in GitHub
When you sign in to app.amplication.com you get a simple sample app with your account
How do you solve merging the modified codebase with a freshly generated ones? Let's say I need to add a new field. Do you rely on GIT for this?
Also, the readme could use a link to a sample hello world repo that this Amplication generates.
