How to use Git with IBMi?

Hello everyone,
in the near future my department wants to store the sourcecode in a self-hosted gitlab instance. Our current approach is to download the source from the IBMi with RDi to a local projekt and then push the changes to the gitlab instance with the eGit plugin. This doesnt look like the right approach, the source code in gitlab looks like this:

000169210108dcl-proc procedur; 000170210108 dcl-pi procedur char(52); 000171210108 param char(52); 000172210108 END-PI; 000175210108 dcl-s returnParam char(52) inz(‘Return’); 000179210108 return returnParam; 000181210108END-PROC;

So my questions are:
How to use git with IBM i?
How is your workflow with it?
How do you get the source code from database to the gitlab instance and how did you get rid of the timestamp?

Get tips on how to get the most out of ACS for IBM i!

System administrators used to rely solely on green screen access to the server to check system performance, manipulate spooled files, and generally look after the machine on a day-to-day basis. For many, IBM Access Client Solutions was that 5250 green screen access for IBM i and little else.

That said, with continued development, the modern ACS is now the go-to tool for many. But what are its capabilities? What comes included? How can you use it to manage all aspects of your IBM i environment?

During this recorded webinar, IBM i experts share tips on how you can get the most out of ACS to make your job easier. You’ll learn how to:

– Analyze your server performance
– Manage your IFS
– Run SQL scripts to interrogate dozens of built-in metrics
– Transfer data both to and from the server
– Conduct restricted state tasks from the system console

You’ll also learn some of the limitations of IBM Access Client Solutions—areas where systems management software purpose-built for the task can reduce frustration and set you up for success.
