IDE Tool: Git Client

[stvowi]

Every modern IDE (e. g. VSCode, Zed Editor) has a built-in Git client.

We should spare beginners the usual hassle of searching for tools for the IDE and the endless series of installations.

My suggestion is to bundle the Unleshed IDE with Gitwizard.

The Gitwizard is the next candidate for the installer. Working with the command line is a bit of a slog.

Have you actually used Gitwizard yourself, and for how long? Your GitHub profile is mostly empty, a few forks without own commits, so I cannot tell whether this is first-hand experience or a recommendation from elsewhere. Some concrete notes on what worked and what did not would help here.

No, I have only installed Unleashed IDE and have to find out yet to install addons, components, packages etc.
I wanted to read my beginner’s book on Lazarus/FPC first, before I tried it out.

Have a good one!

I am now aware that you have to configure the IDE yourself.

This Git client is internationalised and better than nothing.
