use hub, the github-gem or just stick to git when working with github repo's?

Question

What are the pro/con's of using: - hub - github-gem - or just git when working with github?

Answer 1

• hub:
  pros: good integration with git, mask all github specifics
  cons: needs ruby

• github-gem
  pros: see hub, it can be considered as one of the gems
  cons: needs ruby, gem startup time

• git
  pros: doesn't obfuscate anything (especially in case or error message)
  cons: a lot more commands to type ;)
