Agent Git

Agent Git is a plugin that can be seamlessly integrated with Visual Studio, PowerBuilder, SQL Server Management Studio, 3D Studio Max, FoxPro, MatLab and any other applications compatible with Microsoft Source Code Control Interface (MSSCCI). It facilitates a solution that permits Git to integrate with any MSSCCI-compliant IDE.

During installation, the plugin offers to registers itself as the default MSSCCI provider. Before launching the IDE, it's necessary to configure Agent Git settings, such as specifying the full path to the Git project manager. Extra options are for marking files as read only when not checked out, measuring the Git command duration, using built-in Git tools, defining command lines for external differences, and editing line ending options (e.g. checkout as if, commit as is).

Once the Agent Git provider is integrated with the IDE, you can put together a test solution and use the plugin to import it into the Git repository. As far as options are concerned, it's possible to check out pages for editing, compare and get the latest version, as well as to view history. A complete step-by-step tutorial and YouTube introductory videos are available on the developer's website.

According to the developer, Agent Git was tested with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, 2015 and 2013, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2014. PowerBuilder 2017 (Appeon), and Zeus IDE.
