There is now a tool that will let your mainframe developers who are currently very productive using ISPF to interface to git. Check out https://zigi.rocks for more info.
The V1R1 is about to be released into the wild - a release candidate is current available for the brave. This update addresses many of the issues in the original v1r0 release. Why use ISPF to interface to git: 1. Many developers are very comfortable and thus very productive using ISPF tools. 2. There have been many extensions to ISPF edit, in house developed, cbttape, and vendor, that extend ISPF Edit significantly to improve productivity. 3. The younger developers, who may already know about git, will find it familiar while remaining on the mainframe 4. The more seasoned developers will not have to spend time learning a new development interface and can continue to produce Zigi - the Z ISPF Git Interface Lionel B.

I'm still learning this territory, but my impression is the Jenkins server (off platflorm) communicates with the Jenkins slave on the MF and is a pipeline control tool, and issues GIT, IBM DBB build commands, and that the intention that it does that work on behalf of others, which could be an individual developer, or could be the userid of the "change management process", etc. I'm hoping that there are some shops out there already doing this, and would interested in sharing some information off-list?
