nemo-git extension

[kitingChris]

Hello there, I use git very often now and it would be great to have a visual mark if a directory is a git directory...
Or better nemo integrates the major git commands in the context menu

[wrouesnel]

There's a pull request (by me) opened for this issue at the moment - you can checkout the code package there #12 . It can be easily built with pbuilder, and provides the functionality you're looking for.

Actually I would prever a more native implemenation...
rabbitvcs didnt worked well on ubuntu 12.04 in my config and I got massive system freeze after restarting nemo and nothing in the context menu.
Seems the extension did not load correct

[mtwebster]

This really is what extensions are for - don't expect native git support built in to nemo. You have tried @wrouesnel 's plugin? Or the plugin with Nautilus?

[kitingChris]

with "native" I meant without third party tools like rabbitcvs.
Unfortunatelly it didnt work well and the extension from @wrouesnel made my system freeze :(

[wrouesnel]

That's...unexpected. I'm running it right now just fine. It shouldn't be possible for it to freeze your system since the worst it can do is crash Nemo.

Could you try opening a terminal and running nemo -q && nemo and see what's output (and if your system freezes again?)

Beyond that it's tricky to know what you're looking for - VCS GUIs are pretty complex. When git-cheetah get Nautilus support working I'll probably port it (RabbitVCS does have some ideosyncracies I don't like).

freezing for 20 seconds again.

But I guess the main problem is rabbitcvs itself.
Even the nautilus module doesnt show up.
Neither the gedit extension...

And thats the point why I would prefer a solution without an additional middleware or seperate gui.
Just the git commants and integration in nemo that directly points to the git commandline

[wrouesnel]

That looks like you don't have rabbitvcs-core installed - which shouldn't be possible because the package puts a dependency on it.

Try apt-get install rabbitvcs-core and see if it fixes it up. Unless you just did make install in which case the dependency wouldn't have been setup automatically.

[kitingChris]

I installed rabbitvcs via apt-get install rabbitvcs-*

$ sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-core

[wrouesnel]

That's really odd. It sounds like something's seriously messed up on your system.

RabbitVCS should be installed to /usr/share/pyshared/rabbitvcs

under there should be a directory named vcs with something like the following in it:
branch.py dummy/ git/ __init__.py log.py mercurial/ status.py svn/

I notice you're working in - German I think? - it's possible this is a rabbitvcs translation issue, but that seems unlikely.

This is now maintained by upstream rabbitvcs, and this can be closed. It's now just a matter of upstream packagers :)

[harmin-parra]

Could it possible to change git branches in the nemo file system ?
