Version Control is a feature within MettleCI to allow MettleCI enables you to check in your dataStage assets into Git repository.changed DataStage Repository-based assets (e.g. Jobs, Parameter Sets...) to a Git repository. Git check-in can be performed either via a combination of the DataStage Classic Designer client and MettleCI Workbench or directly in MettleCI Workbench. The former option - while involving two pieces of software - is the quickest as it avoids manually filling out Job information (e.g. which Project it is part of) each time you commit a change.

Select Work Item to associate with your commit
The form you’re presented with captures all the information necessary to perform your Commit to Git:
...
DataStage Project: This is a read-only value telling you which DataStage project you’re using (and consequently which Git repository you’re committing to)
Asset(s): This is where you specify the DataStage assets you’re committing. If you invoked this page from the MettleCi DataStage Designer menu item then this field will already include the Job canvas which had focus when you selected the menu item. You can add more assets by typing their name then selecting them from the 'New selection' box which appears below (Important: Don’t forget this second step!). Even though you may specify multiple assets we generally recomment making a single commit per asset, to make tracking changes to individual assets clearer.

Include Unit Tests: When selected, this checkbox will include (where available) the Unit Test Specifications and Unit Test Data for all specified DataStage Job assets in the commit.
Work Item(s): Select one or more Work Items to link associate with your commit.
