Integrations between git and global configurations
Hello,
I am currently using IBM 6.0.6.1 and soon moving to IBM ELM 7.X. Currently in 6.0.6.1 as I know it's not possible to link Git / GitHub source code into a Global Configuration. And similarly its not possible to link IBM ELM artifacts in Git / GitHub.
Are there any such features being supported in IBM ELM 7.X on-wards or it's already in IBM roadmap to support this use-cases ?
Accepted answer
Rakesh you could check with Persistent. They have a Unite adapter that works with some git variants.

You can find the New & Noteworthy tab on the download page for every version. Open https://jazz.net/downloads/elm/
Select the download for the version you are interested and click the New & Noteworthy tab.
E.g. https://jazz.net/downloads/elm/releases/7.0.2?p=news Then select the solution component e.g. Global Configuration Management and browse the information.
That is the easiest way of finding out what is going on.
Note, that the general policy is that one can not talk about futures, planned features etc. Roadmaps can also not be discussed here, as they are usually confidential.
A git repository is simply a directory containing a special
.git
directory.
This is different from "centralised" version-control systems (like subversion), where a "repository" is hosted on a remote server, which you facetime for pc
checkout
into a "working copy" directory. With git, your working copy is the repository.
Simply run
git init
in the directory which contains the files you wish to track.
For example,
cd ~/code/project001/
git init
This creates a
.git
(hidden) folder in the current directory.
