We're considering migrating from CVS to GIT. Our whole development process is centered around IntelliJ, and the plugin we've found (GIT4idea) is severely lacking. Essential features, like global history logs or diff changes are completely missing.

Are there any other alternatives in IntelliJ land? And, if not, which current Java IDE do you consider to have the best GIT integration?

I've found both the plugins for Netbeans and Eclipse lacking, some issues (sometimes nasty ones). Not stable enough for my taste, although Eclipse one is better.

I would recommend to just use command line. I know it's not the same, but should not be a big deal

+1; I've also found git IDE integration to be unilaterally terrible. At the same time, I've found Git to be worth-while when used outside of the IDE anyway, and preferable to a cleanly-integerated SVN client. Never liked CVS at all myself.

git-idea

Next option is use GIT without IDE integration.

  • Git-Gui or Tortoise GIT
  • From command line

It doesn't work with IntelliJ 8.x
Idea 8.1.x bundles git-idea.
