Re: New RFE for your perusal

I would expect that if you use change management, then it is God, and anything that happens outside of change management gets clobbered. Git however is not change management, it is only a source repository that understands Hierarchical file systems such as the IFS. You still need additional tools to build and deploy your source. Ant is a configurable option if you build actions that understand IBM i objects. It already has plugins that understand Git. This is really about making iProjects more IFS friendly.

There's a lot to IBM i type objects.

For example, you change a printer file on your developement machine from
source.
You promote it to production. Does your promotion stop and ask you if
someone went and did a CHGPRTF and modified some parameter (default
printer or some such thing) outside of the change management? Or does it
just clobber that change?

Or, if someone did a CHGPGM outside of change management?

We actually run into this kind of stuff quite often. Or used to...
