I don't manage any Gambas project's git repo with the IDE.

Therefor I wanted an option to switch off Git handling by the IDE 
completely and I am fine with that as it is.

AFAICR Bruce Steers wanted to switch Git on and off per project. I do 
not want this.

I use Git not only for Gambas but also for Images (with Git Annex), for 
a lot of configuration files (for instance /etc, ~/.config, ansible) and 
even for DTP files from Scribus or Inkscape. I would tear my hair out if 
every program had its own Git interface and I had to learn and use the 
specific one.

I use Zsh with Guake and 'tig' to manage any Git repo. This is my 
universal Git interface, so I use it everywhere. I'm happy to stick with 
it and that I don't have to learn a new one.

What I find so great about Gambas is that practically everything 
consists of text and that it can be wonderfully versioned with Git.

The only thing I might find cool would be if the IDE would make it 
possible to browse the history of a file. But if I had to switch on Git 
handling by the IDE and the IDE would automatically insert every change 
I make into the staging area of the repo, then I would prefer to do 
without it.

Alles Gute
