NetBeans Git Module
Note
Official Oracle-developed Plugin
Oracle have now begun development of an official NetBeans Git plugin. You can
follow the development of this plugin on the NetBeans wiki:
You can also subscribe to the mailing list for more detailed discussion of the
plugin's development:
Code for the plugin has already landed in the NetBeans "silver" repository.
Unfortunately, NetBeans and official plugins are not developed with Git, but
with Mercurial (hg). To clone the repository:
hg clone http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/
Please note: the repository is large and cloning can take a considerable amount
of time.
Introduction
A versioning plugin for working with Git repositories in Netbeans. Presently,
it supports the basic tasks of status, diff, commit, and log viewing. Future
versions will increase functionality to provide a full set of 'porcelain'
commands.
It uses the JGit library for accessing repositories. To ease installation
a JGit jar is distributed with the project source in release/modules/ext/.
More information and documentation are available in the form of JavaHelp files
which can be found under:
- javahelp/org/nbgit/docs/
They will also be accessible via the Help menu when the plugin has been
installed.
To download the latest version, check the current status of development, or
report an issue visit the project page at:
Installation
This module is still under development and thus may randomly crash, eat
all your memory, etc. So consider yourself warned! Before installing or
upgrading make sure you read the release notes and list of known issues.
They can be found in:

plugin from the plugins menu. Afterwards clone the repository and use

are advised to first test the plugin by "running" the project.
