Developers can now find the code they need to work on in Explorer for Endevor and Zowe Explorer, edit code assisted by COBOL or HLASM Language Support, and test the resulting code with the Debugger, all in one Mainframe development package.
Powered by open source projects [Zowe](https://www.zowe.org/) and [Che](https://www.eclipse.org/che/). Many of these extensions, and other mainframe-oriented innovations, are also available as part of open source [Eclipse Che4z subproject](https://github.com/eclipse/che-che4z).

### COBOL Language Support using CA Endevor Bridge for Git and Explorer for Endevor
117
137
* Use VS Code’s built-in Git interface to clone source code from CA Endevor using Endevor’s Bridge for Git.
118
138
* Edit COBOL code using COBOL Language Support, taking advantage of all the coding assistance provided by the extension.
139
+
* Locate all copybooks in the Git folder structure, and if needed, download other copybooks used in the source code from the mainframe.
119
140
* Use VS Code’s built-in Git interface to push, pull and merge changes.
120
141
* Search and browse additional code elements in the entire map of Endevor using the Explorer for Endevor extension. The COBOL Language Support extension provides syntax awareness for COBOL elements.
121
142
* Download code elements, including their dependencies, into the current workspace using the Explorer for Endevor extension, and synchronize them with the Git project if code modifications are needed.
