We've just released version 2.7 of zigi - the z/OS ISPF Git Interface open-source project. Go to https://github.com/wizardofzos/zigi to download and install, or if you already have zigi installed then use it to pull the latest update (the master branch has been updated). You can also download from the cbttape.org site on the updates page file 997 (http://www.cbttape.org/ftp/updates/CBT997.zip).
If you use it and you like please consider joining our team - we can't promise any financial incentives but we can promise lots of satisfaction from working on an outstanding open-source project. You may be thinking it's feature-rich already and you'd be close - but there are always improvements and there are a lot of additional git features that someone may like to have implemented. See https://zigi.rocks (it does and that's a real website). Below are the release notes with the highlights - there were a number of bug fixes as well. Version 2.7 New Features and Functions -------------------------- Support file extensions for PDS members when copied to OMVS. The extension is defined when the PDS is added to zigi for management and only one extension is allowed per PDS, and it may NOT be changed. The extension is then removed when the file is copied to the PDS. Redo the Current Repository Action Bar Menu. Split out General and Repository into General, Maintenance, and Repository. New Check command to be used by the user to check the state of the z/OS datasets on demand. The check will occur when the repository is opened and then only when the user requests. The state of the OMVS files will continue to be checked frequently as the user interacts wtih the repository. Reduce processing overhead by only checking z/OS datasets for changes if they have changed since the last date that zigi checked them. The test will be to check the dataset if the last reference date (from listdsi) is the same as the current day or if it is greater than the last reference date as saved by zigi in the users home directory under .zigi/filename where filename is the OMVS file copy of the z/OS dataset. Enable multiple row selection in many instances (not all). Improved detection of deleted, or renamed, PDS members during PULL processing. Improved detection of deleted, or renamed, PDS members at zigi repository startup. Lionel B.
