# Endevor Bridge for Git for Zowe CLI

The Endevor Bridge for Git Plug-in for Zowe CLI allows you to work with and manage Git-Endevor mappings of your Bridge for Git server. Also, as a developer, you can build the changed files from the local working directory of your mapping in an Endevor work area. 

## Use Cases

As an application developer, you can use the plug-in to perform the following tasks:
- Build the changes of your local working directory of a Git-Endevor mapping in Endevor. (`@zowe-v1-lts`, `@zowe-v2-lts`, `@latest`)
- Manage Git-Endevor mappings from the CLI. (`@zowe-v2-lts`, `@latest`)

    Enables you to create the same kind of Git-Endevor mappings that are supported in the application. You can also manage the branches of existing mappings.

- Manage mainframe credentials for Git-Endevor mappings. (`@zowe-v2-lts`, `@latest`)
