Just a few "cents" from me... ;-)
I don't know how you would call it:
I'm doing it the "old-fashioned way": strictly by command-line, directly from GIT on my Ubuntu 'Devel'-PC. No GUI, no mouse, just console and keyboard. Nothing but blinking cursors and GIT commands. git pull ..., git status ..., nano or mc-editor, make ..., git push ..., git sendmail ...: thats nearly all I use and need.
I never considered that anyone would use something else than the command line.
And after struggling through some - sometimes rather weird - problems, I'm getting used to it and wouldn't want to do it any other way. Its logical and fast. Not comfortable, but 'at the roots'.
Git is - of course like anything else - something that everyone needs to learn at the start. After that is indeed logical and fast.
And while creating a patch for a new 'nano 2.5.1'-version (http://patchwork.ipfire.org/patch/208/) I got the thought that perhaps it would help others if I would ~record the process of creating this
rather easy - patch with some "how I did it" explanations and/or screenshots so they could get a grip on the procedure? Thinking of "Building Addons", perhaps we could put something like that in Wiki? Not too complicated, just showing how to build an rather easy patch and push it/send it through GIT.
Maybe we should setup a page on the wiki to explain using git send -email. I thought people read man pages from time to time which makes this obsolete.
Sorry, I got Windows 7 running, but none of the mentioned tools here, so my prerequisits may differ.
It would take some time, but I think, this could be a way to make things easier.
