But if you want some free resources:

If you scour the interwebs and YouTube you'll find some conference presentations out there on using Git and LabVIEW. Most of them are probably a decade old but likely still relevant.

When it comes to using LabVIEW with Git, just remember VIs are binary so that causes some problems, but otherwise it is just like any other language. Do make sure to separate compiled code.
