JGit Logging in Eclipse [message #661672] Fri, 25 March 2011 19:33 Go to next message

One thing that makes EGit/JGit more difficult than Subclicpse is that EGit/JGit does not provide enough visibility into what Git commands are actually being invoked (Subclipse displays this info clearly on the Eclipse console). Is there any way to enable some kind of JGit command logging so that I can see what Git commands are actually invoked when I do things like Eclipse->Project->Team->PushToUpstream etc...?

JGit does not invoke git commands, it does all work itself, except
on remote servers.

Having detailed, easy-to-read and consistent logging about what it does
could be useful. JGit does not do that. In EGit there is more logging,
but its not very pretty.

One thing to do is to decide on what logging library to use. Using slf4j
seems fashionable. It redirects to whatever logging library the JGit
consumer (EGit, Gerrit, Ant, Maven etc) is using.

Patches welcome.

Perhaps some information is better then none. Where can I find the EGit logs?

The log is <WORKSPACE>/.metadata/.log. It is also available as the Error Log view.

As for the other issues I recently fixed a bug that just might lead to files not being
logged, though I didn't try to prove that, so please check out the nightly builds.

Push/Merge availability depends on the state of the branch. There may be different
opinions in where the commands should be disabled or not.
