abapGit and gCTS for AI-Assisted ABAP: Repositories, Branches and Reviewable Diffs
Coding agents work best when every change is a reviewable diff. This course covers abapGit (community and SAP-shipped versions) and the Git-enabled Change and Transport System (gCTS): serializing ABAP to files, pulling safely, branching in a system with one active version per object, pull requests for agent changes, and a workflow where git review gates transport release.
