Can Avatar files be saved in Git repos?

Two of my colleagues have built a career writing forms using something called Avatar. "Avatar". One of those over used words in our industry. I've run into other such terms which makes it difficult to discuss something, which the same word is used for multiple things, none of them related to any of the other. Avatar is one such word. I'll describe what they do with their Avatar environment.

They both, and others on their team in other locations, write forms to collect data from users all over the state. This is in support of our
Facilities department. So, people go into the Avatar forms that these people write to enter details such as windows needing fixing, things being shipped from one place to another, etc. I don't know what sort of a database this data is saved in. It might be something that Avatar uses. The IT department, of which I'm also a member of, is upgrading the version of Avatar my two colleagues use, to a newer version called NX.

Anyway, as far as I know they don't save their work locally, like one would if you're working with a local Git repo. I don't know where they store their code. I get the feeling that it is just done for them. But, maybe I'm wrong about that. I'm wondering if anyone here has knowledge of this Avatar? And if so, do you know where this Avatar saves the files my colleagues work on?
