Basic Git Integration

TheTomas

I am enjoying reading your latest Changelog esp. the chapter "Laying the Foundation for IDE Automation". This is meaningful esp. for Addon-Devs and Automation and looking forward for this possibilities. If I may suggest one feature to this: Basic Git Integration at least a colour indication of code additions or changes in the editor. Here is an example how I see this in Gnome Builder (see the coloured lines next to the line numbers):

But also to handle branches or commit single changes to the Repository would be nice and in par with other IDEs.

Of course only if the solution is saved in the CVS friendly fileformat and if within a git controlled folder.

As suggestion for the future If you run out of bugs or ideas for a new release ;-)

And display current branch name somewhere would be helpful.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m planning to add focused Git support in the next Studio release.

The initial implementation will:

Detect files changed outside Studio and avoid overwriting them.
Remove obsolete project files and directories when saving.
Show the current branch and whether the repository has changes.
Mark changed Studio items and added, modified, or deleted source lines.
Commit selected Studio items with a commit message.
Safely switch between existing local branches.

Branch switching will require a clean repository so Studio cannot accidentally discard work. Git will remain optional and this integration will apply only to VCS-friendly .objosln projects.

More advanced operations including cloning, pull/push, creating branches, stashing, merging, rebasing, and conflict resolution will remain the responsibility of dedicated Git tools for now.
