Status of git integration?

Hello Brett,

any more info on what git integration is planned for Diana?
Will it be a fresh plugin or are you going to be basing it on one of
the public implementations that exist?

We're aware of only one public implementation: http://gitorious.org/projects/git-idea
We haven't yet evaluated it to see whether it makes sense for us to build
upon it or to start from scratch.

There's also this one:



I've not evaluated it so can't comment on its functionality compared to the one hosted at gitorious.org

Within the last 2 weeks, I have released a fully-functional Git VCS plugin called "Git4Idea" which is loosely based on the Mercurial plugin & the other public Git VCS plugin prototypes. I believe mine has probably progressed the furthest at this point and seems to work pretty well. You may want to take a look at it too when deciding. The Git4Idea plugin home page is here .

thanks

Mark, are you invoking shell commands?

Yes, it calls the 'git' command line tools to do the work. This is much the same as many of the other VCS plugins (ie: Mercurial, MKS, Perforce, ClearCase & etc).
