We are planning to switch our repositories from SVN to Git. Some users are utilizing np_subversion, which integrates SVN into the TYPO3 Backend. This tool uses the svn client for updates, commits, and logs. I am looking for a solution that mimics the svn client but operates with a Git repository instead (similar to git-svn, but in reverse). Alternatively, if anyone knows of an extension that integrates Git into the TYPO3 Backend, that would be helpful.
have you looked into Git Extensions? might fit your needs, especially if ur familiar with SVN clients. Any specific features you’re looking for? sometimes just shifting the team’s mindset to embrace git fully can be more beneficial in the long run. Thoughts?
For a Git solution that offers a familiar SVN-like experience, you might want to explore GitEye. It’s a Git client that provides a visual interface similar to SVN clients, which could ease the transition for your team. Another option worth considering is Plastic SCM, which supports both Git and SVN workflows, potentially offering a bridge between the two systems.
If you’re open to custom solutions, you could develop a TYPO3 extension that wraps Git commands in an interface resembling np_subversion. This approach would allow you to maintain a familiar workflow within the TYPO3 backend while leveraging Git’s powerful features.
Ultimately, while these tools can help, encouraging your team to gradually adapt to Git’s distributed model might yield the best long-term results. Consider implementing a phased approach, starting with these SVN-like interfaces and gradually introducing more Git-specific workflows and tools.
Switching from SVN to Git can indeed be a significant change, but using tools that offer a similar experience can help. TortoiseGit and SmartGit are two options worth exploring. TortoiseGit provides a familiar interface for those accustomed to TortoiseSVN, making the transition smoother. SmartGit supports both Git and SVN and has a user-friendly interface. Even though there isn’t a direct integration for Git in TYPO3 like np_subversion, creating custom extensions or using existing Git clients in the TYPO3 backend could be viable alternatives. Embracing Git’s features though, is recommended for long-term benefits.
hey, have you considered TortoiseGit? it’s pretty similar to TortoiseSVN, so it might feel familiar. what about using git clients like SourceTree or GitKraken? they’re pretty user-friendly. curious to hear what specific features you’re looking for in a git frontend. maybe we can brainstorm some creative solutions?
hey there! have u checked out gitextensions or sourcetree? they’re pretty user-friendly and might help ease the transition. what about creating a custom typo3 extension that wraps git commands in a familiar interface? could be a fun project. lemme know if u want more ideas!
