Git/TextMate/server

[D.M. Procida]

I use MacFuse and TextMate to work on files on my development server.

I have to use various repositories (SVN, Mercurial, Git) and can just
about blunder my way through the requisite commands on the server, but
now I want to do a bit more though Git.

I see that TextMate has a Git bundle, but I presume that isn't going to
help much unless using Git on the same machine, rather than on a remote
server.

Any suggestions for making all this a little easier?

Git works by pulling branches from remote repositories into a local
repository, so I suppose Textmate's support will work fine against the
local repo but maybe not help much with pushing and pulling changes.

There's a couple of git GUIs around which might help (two come with
git), though I don't think they're particularly brilliant.

For remote server you are going to have to set up cron/launchd scripts
to do a git push

I've used GitX a bit, and while it is a Cocoa app it really shares the
flaws in gitk et al - the graph ends up looking like an insane
underground map, the graph *completely changes* after fetches/merges
and reloading, and the graph's not interactive. Wouldn't dragging
changes between branches make sense? What about branching using the
mouse?

I might try giggle (GTK only) later, but I don't think any of them are
very good at managing branches.
