Git Integration

[Psych]

Would be nice to have some sort of GIT functionality in the IDE, even its just basic stuff, since this is now the standard for group collaborative projects.

For example, to open a git repo, branch and commit, etc etc.

Alternatively a complete VSCode integration for Purebasic would be really nice.

Or do what SQLite does.

Can you explain to me what this has to do with Git integration?

Git integration is out of scope for the IDE, but on Windows you can easily use TortoiseGit which integrate in the explorer. So you can use it from the OpenFile() dialog for example, without leaving the IDE.

I was suggesting a git alternative, fossil.exe. 1 exe and it throws up a server and supports timeline views, tickets, forum, and of course distributed version control with even a git i/o.

I've read their website a bit. The missing link we didn't know is: SQLite developers use Fossil for versioning (fossil can sync automatically to a git repo) and Fossil stores the versioned content inside an SQLite database.

I initially thought you wanted to build a completely own vcs storing everything in SQLite manually with manual coding of all the merging algorithms etc. And I think NicTheQuick assumed the same. "Do what SQLite does" meant for me the SQLite product, not the team behind .

Sorry, I've used fossil so long I thought it was well known as SQLite's dvcs and web server.

This being the case, would you consider some sort of Visual Studio integration?

It's a third party project, we won't do official support for Visual Studio as you will gain git but loose on all specific PB stuffs (integrated debugger, etc.)
