Hi all,

I know that as many people migrate from Subversion to Git, there's
been interest expressed in making BBEdit work with Git. One could
argue that due to its complexity-- think branching, one of the strong
points of Git-- full-fledged integration would be beyond the scope of
an IDE. But there are definitely basic things that would be nice to do
without command-tabbing out of BBEdit.

To that end, I’ve created a basic AppleScript that lets you perform
the two most common (for me, anyway) Git operations from within
BBEdit: git status and git pull.

It works via a combination of an AppleScript (for UI) and a shell
script (for determining the local git repository for the frontmost
document).

You can read more, download the files, and get installation
instructions at http://www.idolhands.com/technology_and_development/basic-git-integration-with-bbedit/

Suggestions on improvements are always welcome!
