Rocket's port of git does not include any enhancements for traditional mainframe data sets.
I use it extensively for my source code which is in zFS directories. If I was a sysprog these days I would definitely be pushing for mainframe config (eg PARMLIB) to have its source of truth in git with appropriate devops tooling to propagate to the PDS data sets required by zOS.

This is unfortunately not for backup purposes, but rather the dataset is a parmlib dataset consumed by a program product. There's no way to make the program product consume its parms directly from git. However, I wonder if Rocket's port of git has an option to sync a PDS or PDSE ... I'll look into that. And it hasn't been lost on me that git brings versioning (as to what has changed and when) to the table as well, which is definitely nice to have. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ================================ Rocket Software, Inc. and subsidiaries ? 77 Fourth Avenue, Waltham MA 02451 ?
