Git for IBM i: Enterprise DevOps Without the Enterprise Pain
Corporate mandates Git. You’ve seen how Git makes it easy to view the history of changes and how it enables the productivity of parallel development. Your .NET, Java, and Python teams work in GitLab, GitHub, or Azure DevOps. Yet your IBM i team is still locked in proprietary tools that lack the visibility provided by Git while slowing development down with single-developer code locks. They watch as their peers deliver features twice as fast using parallel development workflows they can’t access.
The frustration is real: developers waste hours waiting for code access, recruiters struggle to find talent willing to work with legacy tools, and CIOs face the impossible choice between IBM i support and advanced productivity. But you CAN have it all. In this webinar, we will show you how you can take advantage of ALL the features of Git-based DevOps while still handling the unique requirements of the IBM i environment. While many IBM i DevOps tools offer “Git integration,” in which you work with a legacy DevOps tool that “talks” to Git, this webinar will show how IBM i developers can work directly with Git.
We will demonstrate the only solution that lets IBM i developers actually work in Git: the same repositories, the same workflows, the same tools as every other developer in your organization. See live examples of parallel development eliminating code lock bottlenecks, IBM i code managed in GitLab with automated CI/CD pipelines, and teams accelerating feature delivery by breaking free from the barriers that have held them back for decades.
Join Eradani’s CEO, Dan Magid, and Chief Architect, Aaron Magid, to discover how organizations solve the problems nobody else can solve: enabling true parallel development, recruiting modern developers to IBM i teams, and finally achieving the enterprise DevOps compliance your auditors demand. Plus, see how Git AI integration (including GitHub Copilot) accelerates IBM i development without replacing your existing RPG expertise.
