VGIT provides OpenVMS developers with a subset of Git version control functionality, enabling integration with heterogeneous environments and remote services like GitHub or BitBucket. This document covers:
- Prerequisites: Requires OpenVMS 8.4-1H1 I64 and a compatible TCP/IP stack.
- Installation: Uses standard OpenVMS PCSI kit installation procedures.
- Configuration: Includes post-installation tasks for defining logical names, setting up user identity, configuring proxy servers, and managing SSL certificate bundles.
- Usage: Details available Git-like commands (e.g., clone, commit, checkout, branch, merge) and highlights specific requirements for OpenVMS, such as the need for files to be in stream-lf format and for repositories to reside on ODS-5 file systems.
