If you check out ZIGI (the z/OS ISPF Git Interface) it has an option to support a 'Read Only' z/OS repository. This is a repository that is designed to manage z/OS datasets (PS, PDS, PDSE) in Git but with the restriction that updates to the z/OS datasets is prevented. It will identify updates to the z/OS datasets and then copy the updates into the OMVS Git repository for git management.

I have a script in my repository that runs commands like “rm sys1.parmlib/*; cp "//'sys1.parmlib'" sys1.parmlib” (where “sys1.parmlib” is a directory in the repository.) After running it I commit the changes and then push to GitHub. > >> It’s not perfect, but I can get some idea of when a change was made or find >> an older version of a member that isn’t working right. > Why is it not perfect, what would you want to work better? “Perfect” would be if git could manage the actual PDS(E)s, but that seems like a lot to ask for. -- Pew, Curtis G [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
