The z/OS ISPF Git Interface version 3 release 02 has just been released. 

 

See https://zigi.rocks for more info and to clone get it here at
https://github.com/wizardofzos/zigi

 

If you haven't installed Git on z/OS then go to
https://github.com/wizardofzos/zigi/wiki/0.-Installing-GIT for a checklist
on what you need to do to install Git.

 

If you don't do Git (yet) then it will be available shortly on the updates
page at https://cbttape.org in File 997 (but give it a few days to get
through the process and get onto the site).

 

It contains the following updates and fixes

 

                             ZIGI Release Notes


                               Version 3.02


 


                         New Features and Functions


                         --------------------------


 


Support a Read Only Repository. These must be Created and Cloning is not
recommended. Only operations that copy from z/OS to OMVS are supported with
no updates to the z/OS datasets allowed from within ZIGI. Thus Branch,
Replace, Merge, Stash, Flow, Edit, History Recover, Rename, and Remove are
prevented.


 


Anytime a z/OS dataset will be replaced there will be prompt to inform the
user of this and allow the user to (a) change the HLQ, (b) the # of
qualifiers to ignore, or both before proceeding. Or to cancel the operation.
This is to prevent the replacement of any dataset without overt permission.
This will only occur during a Clone or Replace operation.


 


Update the Delete/Remove Repository from ZIGI more user friendly and thus
easier to use and understand.


 


Support multiple prefixes (HLQs) on the dataset add panel.


 


                          Bug Fixes and Other Updates:


                          ----------------------------


 


1. On the Add Dataset Panel do NOT allow the ignore qualifiers to be changed
from 0.                                                              

2. After Stash Pop leave the Stash List display.


3. On a Clone of a non-ZIGI repository do not create .gitattributes or
.zigi/dsn


4. Allow changing Prefix (HLQ) in AddDSN table if ignore is 0


5. If ignore is 0 correctly detect added datasets


6. Remove calls to call work_with_repo_file and call update_repo_metadata
after updating a PDS member within ZIGI as not needed and speeds things up a
tad.
