Most SAS users are adopting (or have adopted) Git-based tools like Gitlab, BitBucket, or GitHub (there are enterprise/on-premise versions of these for private or commercial use). We have lots of resources to help you learn:

Well, this is a matter of opinion of course, but git is quite popular on Linux.

For the mainframe, I've used ChangeMan from Serena, and it's quite good, quite a bit better than the old Panvalet that I had used previously. It's been a while since I've worked in a mainframe environment, so there may be something better out there.
