In our 8th iDevOps TechTalk podcast, we’ll discuss an important Git topic – The Build.
If you are not using Git for IBM i source control, you are likely planning for it. A key part of the process you must understand is “The Build”. You may ask, why? Isn’t it just a standard IBM i build? No! Tune in as Jeff Tickner, CTO NA and Alan Ashley, Sr. Solutions Architect, discuss:
- The differences between a standard IBM i build and a build with Git.
- Understanding options and advantages with ARCAD versus Better Object Builder (Bob).
- What are personal builds?
