Re: New Git tutorial for QSYS members

I'd also love to move from SVN to Git, but we've got SVN customized for PDM support and integrated into our deployments...

Edmund,

We'd love to move from SVN to Git...

However, we've got a homegrown utility that transfers from the SVN working copy on our PC to the i. One thing it does is read the custom SVN property, MEMBER_DESCRIPTION, for an object and updates the source member text.

Git doesn't support custom properties that we could find...

How do you deal with text for a source member which then becomes the *PGM object description text?

Is our only choice to add
ctl-opt text('My program description')
or the CL equivalent to every RPG/CL program?



Thanks!
Charles
