Hi,
I'm curious, what is the recommended / typical setup for Git development?
Do people use IDEs? If they do what are they? 
I'm looking to do dev on Ubuntu. 

Thanks, Albert

Git has a couple of solution up its sleeves. Depending on which kind of IDE you're typically using, you can use the right plugin or interface for your needs.

If you like Eclipse as an IDE, EGit will be for you.
have a look at this list:
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools#Editors_and_IDE_integration

And, higher up on the page, you can find descriptions for graphical interfaces for git.

I've been doing development of one sort or another for longer than I care to remember and currently develop PHP on (mostly) Ubuntu. I've never found anything that beats the speed and versatility of vim/ctags/git. I have tried (more than once usually) all the IDEs I can but, clever though they are, they always seem to get in the way.

In case you have any doubt about it, git has made the single biggest difference to my productivity that I can think of for a long, long time.

RE: Development Environment Setup

Hi Gabriel,
I probably expressed myself incorrectly. 
What IDE do people use to develop / debug Git.

You expressed yourself correctly but top-posted in response which is worse ;)

Git as a project isn't that large, I would think that most people's "IDE" is vim/emacs plus bash/dash for the C, shell and Perl parts. In fact, "git blame", "git log" and "git bisect" are probably among the most important tools for Git development, but all of them trailing the utmost important one:

more Documentation/SubmittingPatches
