A coworker is developing Drupal code on a Mac using BBEdit. We'd like to get his project onto our git server. What do Mac users recommend for git on Mac with BBEdit?

drupal.org/handbook/git is the place to go for all things git. and if its not there... please ask a question or update it

so I assume you are asking about a GUI for git? http://drupal.org/node/777182

to save you some time... the link is on that page, but you might miss it: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Interfaces,_frontends,_and_tools

BASIC GIT INTEGRATION WITH BBEDIT

I don't use BBEdit, but a friend pointed out this article:

http://www.idolhands.com/ruby-on-rails/bbedit-on-rails/bbrails-toolkit-e...

There's instructions and a link on the page to an applescript + shell script download that performs some basic git ops.

I can't recommend it since I have not used it, but perhaps it is useful as a starting point.

I stick to the command line for git, but this was released recently and looks pretty sweet:

Honestly, the quickest way if there's no GIT plug-ins for BBEdit is to use the built-in Mac OS X Terminal app.

Nobody can pry BBEdit from my hands. I love it and its regex-based find and replace and I've used it since it went commercial in 1993. Wow, has it been that long? As much as I love it, BBEdit doesn't yet have built-in Git support yet (come on, guys, TextMate has had a good Git bundle for years...) and I do fine using the command line.

I've heard nothing but good things about Tower, but there's also something out there called GitBox. I haven't used either one.

It's been a while since you posted this. Did you come up with a solution? If you haven't yet, you should just get the code from him and put it on your server or walk him through git initializing his codebase and pushing it to a Git repo you've created for the project.

BBEdit 10 just landed and it still doesn't have built-in Git support.

I looked in the BBEdit-Talk list and found BBRails Toolkit, which adds git status and git pull commands to BBEdit's scripts menu:

At least the pricing for BBEdit 10 went down. It's priced at $39.99 until October 19, 2011.
