Five Reasons We Use Git to Manage IBM i Source Code
If recent customer requests for Git training are any indication, this popular, free, open source tool for managing source code is gaining momentum and will soon be mainstream on IBM i.
GitHub — A Collaboration Tool for Developers
Standard Git provides source control; GitHub adds collaborative web-based tools that spark discussion and encourage team cooperation.
Using Git on IBM i (with video review)
We’ve seen a surge of interest in Git version control on IBM i, so a recent video about Git caught my eye.
The Git trend makes perfect sense as IBM i teams adopt languages such as PHP, Javascript, and Python to develop web user interfaces, APIs, and other functionality. That said, Git also supports the traditional IBM i language, RPG.
Resources for Learning Git
One of my favorite jobs here at Seiden Group is to introduce developers to the Git version control system. I’ve delivered talks, workshops, and individual Git training.
Fast, popular, and open source, Git can be hosted on varied platforms, such as cloud-based repositories (Github, Bitbucket), internal servers (GitLab), and on our trusty IBM i servers.
