Should I parse git status or use gitsharp?

I'd like to integrate git into production pipeline to stage 3dsmax files. While it is alright to work with git through TortoiseGit, I'd like to communicate with it from the Maxscript to add custom menu commands to 3dsmax.

Should I parse git status output text to determine folder status or should I use some wrapping tool to correctly communicate with git?

I was thinking about gitsharp since it is easy to call dotNet objects from Maxscript, but I didn't use external dotNet programs.

Solution

  • My own attempt to solve this resulted in parsing git status. Seems cleaner and easier to implement. On the other hand i'am looking forword to create an special crafted XML File to get the needed Information in a more "clean" Way.
