SAS Tutorial | How to use Git with SAS

GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket – no matter your flavor of Git, SAS talks to them all. In this SAS How To Tutorial, Chris Hemedinger shows how to “git” your SAS code projects into Git for version control and collaboration. Chris shows how to use Git Bash (the command line) to start and continues to show how it all works with programming interfaces in SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Studio, and even in the SAS programming language.

Great job Chris! I love to see how SAS truly is open to many of the tools open source developers use.

Hi All, welcome to my quick tutorial about using Git with SAS. Would love to hear your questions and also stories about how *you* are using Git and SAS together!

Great video Chris. However, I wonder whether git and SAS can manage .egp files. In my company we are on the way of migrating everything to git but those type of files dont work out because once they are in the repo, you are unable to see the content and script inside the encrypted egp file. Hence, use a repo and track changes is useless...Do you know if there is something for it? Thanks

HI Chris
Thank you for sharing the very useful content, i have one query how we can manage version control for SCL codes. Is it possible to use GIT to manage SCL codes.

20-year SAS user, 2-year Gitlab user for SQL scripts, first time using Gitlab for SAS enterprise guide. I watched this video hoping to learn how to set up a project for the first time. This video skips over that part completely, and I'm struggling to find other resources. Something tells me I need to save the scripts as individual files rather than embedding them in the epg project?

Thanks Chris. Are there any resources out there on how to handle EGP files with multiple Process Flows? Is the best method to export code from each Process Flow manually to a folder and then proceed to push those to Git? Thanks!

Is there a way to connect Git or Bitbucket to SAS Servers? For example when pulling, it will pull from the server that scripts are saved on (not local machine or Git Repository), and a push will write to the server? Or somehow through the repository? Thanks!

Does GIT function works in SAS On-Demand?
