Re: Git for RPG source code management

Hmmm...

Git can be served using an HTTP or SSH server. I guess technically that means HTTP or SSH is used as the server rather than git -- but, to me, its reasonable to refer to a server set up this way and only used for git as a "git server".

I would recommend using ssh for this. It's very secure, and very easy to set up as a server. A LOT nicer, in my opinion, then accessing git as a shared directory. And obviously much more secure.

You might also consider using an internet resource like github. They can host private repos (for a fee) as well as open ones. This is really nice from the perspective that your source is always backed up offsite. It also provides really nice tools for viewing the repo, etc, and makes it easier to collaborate with developers all over the world. (If any of that is useful to you -- it is to me since our company has employees all over the place.)

So Git doesn't really have a server right? You have Git installed on the
machine that holds your source, and you have your local repository with
your source there, and you also may have a remote repository on another
machine, or even the same machine if you want. You can have as many remote
repositories as you want. A remote repository is just the one that is not
your local working copy. You can call any remote repository the central
repository if you want, but you can push and pull source between your local
and any remote repository. You will, however, need a repository on any
machine or directory that you want to maintain a copy of the source. The
other major difference is you don't check out a source file. You can
checkout a repository which synchronizes your working copy of the source
with the local repository. You always have a full copy of your source in
your working directory, and as you make changes, you can check those
changes in to your local repository. There is a lot more to git, and it
does not work like traditional source control systems, so forget about all
the terms you know as the ones that sound the same mean different things.

You could mount your source code IFS directory on a machine Git runs on.

All,

I've read this over: http://yips.idevcloud.com/wiki/index.php/PASE/Git

However, it seems to want the Git server running on the IBM i.

We already have a Git Server (VSTS/TFS Online). We don't want another

one.

What would be the steps to store all our source code on a remote Git
repository so that we can get all the advantages VSTS / TFS provides you
(code reviews, source code check-ins to bug/workitem linking, sprint
planning, global source code searching).
