Advanced Git Operations for SAS® and Python Development with Visual Studio Code in SAS® Viya
DE411W : DE411A
This workshop provides hands-on experience with advanced Git operations for SAS and Python development in SAS Viya. Participants use Visual Studio Code and the SAS Extension to manage SAS and Python files with Git, covering operations that go beyond what the SAS Studio Git plugin exposes: interactive rebasing, rebase-based conflict resolution, multiple stashes, and a full Git Flow branching model with feature, bugfix, release, and hotfix branches. The course is designed for advanced users who already know the Git basics covered in other workshops.

Learn How To

Use Visual Studio Code as a Git-enabled IDE connected to SAS Viya:
  • Configure VS Code, install the SAS Extension, and connect to SAS Viya.
  • Create a private workshop repository on GitHub and clone it locally.
  • Apply advanced Git operations to SAS and Python programs:
    • Feature branches, pull requests, and tagging in a collaborative GitHub workflow.
    • Merge conflict resolution for SAS programs.
    • Rebase conflict resolution and interactive rebasing (squash, fixup, reword).
    • Multiple named stashes for managing parallel in-progress changes.
    • Git Flow branching model: feature, bugfix, release, and hotfix branches for .sas and .py assets.

Who Should Attend

This course builds on the Git fundamentals covered in Versioning with SAS(R) Studio Git Integration (DE410W), equipping you with advanced version control techniques for SAS and Python development. You'll gain practical experience with interactive rebasing, rebase-based conflict resolution, stash management, and the Git Flow branching model, operations that are essential for professional collaborative development but not available through the SAS Studio Git plugin. This course is ideal for SAS and Python developers who want to move beyond basic Git workflows and adopt structured branching and integration strategies in their projects."

Prerequisites



Before taking this course, participants should have:

  • Completion of Versioning with SAS® Studio Git Integration (DE410W) or equivalent experience with Git fundamentals: clone, branch, stage, commit, merge, push.
  • Familiarity with SAS programming and Python scripting.
  • Basic comfort with a command-line terminal (Git Bash is used throughout the workshop).
  • Experience using SAS Viya environments, and either experience with Visual Studio Code or willingness to configure it for the first time.
  • A GitHub account with knowledge of how to fork repositories and manage branches.
