Subject: Understanding GIT from an IBM i (RPGLE, CLLE, DDS)
prospective The company that I am consulting for is pushing to make
their IBM i change control system (source control and object
installation) work like the other systems that they have. Since I
wrote their current change control system, I am stuck with the task.
I do not understand GIT and the team pushing for this can't even spell IBM i.
Other than just making the IBM i change control work like their other
systems, they want to be able to do the branching and merging. I am
really confused how that works when you move a chunk of code from one
part in a source file to another. For example, I have a chunk of code
that will now be reused so I move it to its own function. Meanwhile
someone in another branch changes something in that chunk of code.
How does GIT automagically merge stuff like that?
The company currently use the DB2 source system (QDDSSRC, QRPGLESRC, etc.).
They do not use the IFS for source files. They also use PDM even
though I have been pushing to get them to roll out RDI to everyone.
The problem is that the developers don't want it because they have
always used PDM. All of that is informational and I do not need
anyone to provide arguments as to why they need to change. I am
trying but it is terribly hard to turn a barge with an oar.
I'm just trying to gather information about how it would work in their
world and maybe get a better understanding of what GIT is (Is it
anything more than source control) and what it does and doesn't do
(does it automatically compile programs once the branches have been
merged or is that a manual post merge step).
Any feedback will be appreciated.

Subject: RE: Understanding GIT from an IBM i (RPGLE, CLLE, DDS)
prospective A place I was at a few years ago went through this same
thing. I looked at the software that's out there for IBM i to
interface with Git and also the "full Git way." Let me look at see if
I can find my documentation from back then.
