People have been talking about Git for the mainframe for years now, but what does that mean in your day-to-day life? You have spent decades working on the platform, using whatever tools you have and are now being asked to learn a new technology, a new system, a new way of doing things, a new way, or way of working. Where do you even get started? How do you learn? How will this work for you on a platform that has not, until recently, embraced Git and Git-native development? This session is here to part the mists, break through the noise, and give you practical techniques to learn:
- How Git works, under the hood
- Git-native development and what it means
- How to configure your code and make best use of the platform
- Repos, clones, pulls, pushes, commits and everything else you need to be effective in a Git world
- Real-world examples from users practicing Git on the Mainframe
