Re: Git for RPG source code management

So Git doesn't really have a server right? You have Git installed on the
machine that holds your source, and you have your local repository with
your source there, and you also may have a remote repository on another
machine, or even the same machine if you want. You can have as many remote
repositories as you want. A remote repository is just the one that is not
your local working copy. You can call any remote repository the central
repository if you want, but you can push and pull source between your local
and any remote repository. You will, however, need a repository on any
machine or directory that you want to maintain a copy of the source. The
other major difference is you don't check out a source file. You can
checkout a repository which synchronizes your working copy of the source
with the local repository. You always have a full copy of your source in
your working directory, and as you make changes, you can check those
changes in to your local repository. There is a lot more to git, and it
does not work like traditional source control systems, so forget about all
the terms you know as the ones that sound the same mean different things.

You could mount your source code IFS directory on a machine Git runs on.

All,

I've read this over: http://yips.idevcloud.com/wiki/index.php/PASE/Git

However, it seems to want the Git server running on the IBM i.

We already have a Git Server (VSTS/TFS Online). We don't want another

one.

What would be the steps to store all our source code on a remote Git
repository so that we can get all the advantages VSTS / TFS provides you
(code reviews, source code check-ins to bug/workitem linking, sprint
planning, global source code searching).
