How can I effectively manage complex code in Hex Analytics? (Can I somehow use Claude Code?)

I'm a software engineer. I'm used to using an IDE + git to manage complex code. And, I'm leaning more and more heavily on AI to write my actual code.

Hex has its own revision control and audit trails (via git export), but git syncing is one-way; I can't make edits and sync back to Hex. And, it has its own AI magic, but it is pretty limited (and I don't have control over it).

I'm trying to think through how to "import" the workflow I now like into Hex, where I can use my own tools for editing a dashboard's source code. Has anyone figured this out?

The first idea I came up with is:

  • develop code in a jupyter notebook

  • copy/paste code into hex cells

This might work well for initial drafting of hex code, but it doesn't feel workable past that phase. (Hypothetically, to iterate on an existing dashboard, I could i) `git export` the current notebook, ii) convert the exported YAML into a notebook, iii) iterate on the notebook, and iv) sync the changes back into the dashboard, but that sounds terrible.)
