Does BBEdit 10 support GIT?

[daehyok]

Let me ask a question about BBEdit 10. Does it support GIT? If so, I
will buy it right away.

BBEdit has no Git features, so in the sense you mean it, it doesn't support Git.

One of my ponies was named Git.

I've always wondered about the need to have version control integrated
into a text editor. While it would maybe make sense in a larger IDE,
in this context it's pretty much pointless, especially on OSX. Just
use Git on the command line as you would normally. You get all the
awesome features of Git, learn all it's features right from the source
and totally independent of your editor.

I use BBedit with Git every day. So my answer is yes - BBedit does
support Git. In the way that frying pans support pancakes.

It is as pointless as having: 

FTP in a text editor. 

or CVS > Commit Working Copy... in a menu

or Add CVS... in preferences.

Empirically it is important to BareBones, and as noted by people who are in the forums trying to get CVS to work, etc. it is clearly important to them.

'Just use git on the command line' is good advice, something I have yet to learn. I do it all through their awesome site, there are many things you can do through the command line, and BBEdit does support scripts. 

I would prefer direct access to a repository. I also understand I am in the minority and that it is not a priority, which works for me.

That said, I use transmit as my FTP client and integrate it with BBEdit and it feels seamless enough, even though they are individual apps.

Keep asking, even pancakes have dreams...

I used to wonder that about git/bbedit as well. Now that I'm using Vim
for more work, with the awesome Fugitive plugin, I've come around to git
integration into an editor. I still use the command line for most of my
git interactions, particularly the more complicated ones, but for adding
and committing changes, staying right in the editor is pretty cool.

Note there is also what appears to be a nice GUI git app now, Tower [1].
I've not used it and have no affiliation with it, but I've thought about
picking it up at some point...

There's also GitHub for Mac (github.com/mac) - which, although the name suggests otherwise - works fine with non-GitHub hosted repos.

Yes, it is pretty nice. This is off-topic obviously, but is there a way
to make it recognize non-GitHub remote repositories for your local ones?
Or does that feature only work with GitHub as your remote?

Also GitX:

And there is a plugin for Eclipse/Aptana called EGit, but I've had
problems getting it to work.

You have to clone the repo by hand, but once you've done that, just drop your folder onto the target in GitHub Mac. It pushes and pulls just fine to my ssh-hosted repos.

GitHub has a free git thing too.

Indeed. I had forgotten that and gitx. My original reply prompted me
to download the trial of Tower and play around with the Github client
some more. I think I'll stick with the command line and gitx, plus
fugitive when in Vim. Tower is nice, but I don't really need all the
functionality.
