We are looking for a solution to consolidate the version control of our code across a .net and z/OS platform. We are currently investigating the option of using our Team Foundation Server's GIT support to do this, but googling for z/OS and GIT doesn't lead to something interesting. Is there some way to use GIT on a z/OS platform?

Answer 1

The Release Notes for Git 1.8.2 (March 2013) mention

Initial ports to QNX and z/OS UNIX System Services have started.

So maybe now is a good time to try again...

Answer 2

One solution would be to build git on that platform, but, as this thread shows, there are compatibility fixes to do.

Answer 3

IIRC, z/OS supports the Single UNIX Specification, so you should be able to compile git and use it on z/OS. The git community is generally supportive, so make sure to report any issues you run into: http://git-scm.com/community

Have you tried building Git on z/OS?
