@ashishkathait123 I've also started a discussion on Frappe's community forum regarding this: https://discuss.frappe.io/t/version-control-for-customization/118480

I have explored the import and export settings and found that we can only export customizations within the present system modules and we can import the data only. here I am attaching some screenshots.

Hello there 👋, I think i might have got some lead in the matter. Based on some analysis i did, Frappe is just like another framework which provides the an streamlined approach for ERP System and inside that erp-system we further have the education module. So, for the export import functionality if somehow all of our team can use the same codebase, and treat it like just another famous web devlopment frameworks such as Nextjs or Remix.

Below is the image of the codebase for our frappe-bench on my system.

I researched importing and exporting doctype folders/files and discovered that we can use Git Bash commands to zip and export/import docker containers or images.

I also found that changes made to certain fields in a doctype are immediately reflected in our code base.
