| Re: [jgit-dev] Status of CLI? |
Dear all,
I've recently started a contract in a large corporate who use Windows 7 64bit desktop environments for development, with all admin rights locked down. This means that I suffer from extremely bad performance using the Windows git binaries:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/596
I'm interested in the possibility of using the jGit CLI to be a like-for-like replacement for git for the commands that I commonly use.
I typically interact with git using magit, which I understand uses the "porcelain" interface (I don't even know what that is), and my typical workflow involves:
- git status
- git checkout / branch
- git pull (with rebase)
- git push (with force)
- git rebase -i
and the auto-squash feature.
How far from this goal is jGit?
I may prioritise helping over the coming months and assist. I'd also be willing to fund some efforts on this if its a case of "it'll take you a week, but it'll take me a year".
BTW, is there an alternative way to communicate on this project? Ideally I'd prefer to use the github issue tracker with a corresponding gitter room. Email is just a bit too oldschool for me.
