MettleCI enables you to check in changed DataStage Repository-based assets (e.g. Jobs, ParameterSets...) 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.
