I am looking to implement a multi-step git command for the workbench instead of having to use the external git-bash. Several of the steps will require the use of non-standard git commands.

First, I am assuming that it is possible to create a custom commit object the same as you would with 'git commit-tree'.

Second, I would like to manually update the object stored in a ref the same as you would with 'git update-ref'.

There are several other parts that would need to be implemented but are relatively straight forward (checkout / push / etc..). If I were to use the git-bash for what I described above it would look something like this:

git update-ref refs/heads/master $(echo 'some message' | git commit-tree branch^{tree}:the_desired_object -p $(cat .git/refs/heads/masster))

So would it be possible to create a command that executes this using EGit/JGit?

If so, could some one point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

JD

Instead of using an External Tool, I was looking to implement a customized git command to easily push to a remote. I use Jekyll to host several web sites that I develop with Eclipse. Because I host at GitHub and I use several custom extensions, I cannot use the hosted Jekyll instance.

Here is a blog that describes exactly what I am doing:

I was just seeing if there was a way to make this a little more simple from the workbench.
