Hi Norbert,

In Enterprise Developer you should be able to use Git in the same way as you currently do for Java.  The EGit plugins are available from the Eclipse.org site and can be installed into your ED Eclipse product.  The Micro Focus plugins use the Eclipse Team interfaces so interaction with Git should be fairly smooth.

There's a tutorial for Egit here: wiki.eclipse.org/.../User_Guide

and a simple Getting Started here: wiki.eclipse.org/.../Getting_Started

If you're using remote projects then you'll need to ensure that you use a SAMBA conneciton type (Git doesn't appear to be aware of the RSE file system).  With ED that's probably a given anyway.

While Git isn't somehting we've extensively tested with the ED Eclipse product, I am aware of a number of people using it for their COBOL programs source control.
