Creating a zAppBuild stand alone Git repository

zAppBuild is intended to be maintained as a stand alone Git repository by the release engineering team of a corporation or organization. It is intended to be cloned to a single location on USS to be used to build all of your z/OS applications.

Create a local Git repository for zAppBuild

1. Clone the DBB community repository to either a Linux or Windows machine.
2. Copy the Build/zAppBuild folder to another location on the machine outside of the cloned dbb local repository.
3. Change directory to the new zAppBuild directory.
4. Type git init to create the local repository.
5. Type git add * to add all files to the local repository.
6. Type git commit -m "<message>" to do an initial commit to the local repositry.

Push the new local repository to a remote central repository.

1. Create the remote repository called "zAppBuild" using the appropriate method for the remote Git server. Examples: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket.
2. Change directory to the new zAppBuild directory on the local machine.
3. Type git remote add origin <remoteGitServerURL>/zAppBuild.git
4. Type git push -u origin master

The zAppBuild remote repository is now ready to clone to USS.
