So z/OS datasets are still the source of truth, and just a copy is being made 
into GitHub for visibility from the outside.
I'm thinking of implementations that work the other way.
Running Git server on Z**, hooking it to GitHub UI / web service, use GitHub 
Actions or other release mechanisms to rollout directly into live Z datasets.
I mean live as in.. the way in which we normally do in Z. Just hooking GH into 
the usual current procedures/jobs/REXX in Z.

**Noticed that Github Enterprise Server, the thing where you run the GitHub 
Enterprise servers yourself in 'your' cloud, or on-prem on VMware or OpenStack 
(lol) KVM... can't actually run in Z.
That is, can it even run in Linux on Z, seeing that currently there's only 
OpenStack KVM flavour?
Z can run KVM instead of z/OS but who's going to setup KVM just for this.
