Texstudio: Git command integrate

[juliandragon]

Environment

• TeXstudio: <2.12.6>
• Qt:
• OS: Windows 10
• TeX distribution: < texlive>

Expected behavior

Support git command directly, not only with SVN

Actual behavior

How to reproduce

[rommeswi]

https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/368027/87274 gives some hints how to generate similar behavior using the current versions. That perhaps also shows that it would not be too difficult to make this a feature.

Dupe of #59 ?

For the sake of documentation: The closed (duplicate) issue #59 already had some upvotes

Why don't you all use one from the tonload of already available git-for-windows-super-duper fancy software bundles (git-for-windows, TortoiseGit, et al) ? (or even use the cli version already, it's not that hard and makes you undertand the power of git a lot better.)
This makes you get used to the same tooling for every of your projects, and makes the developers of your favourite IDEs able to focus on their real project instead of re-implmenting an interface for every VCS that exists numeruous times already.

Hi @Piraty thanks for your comment. I'll assume this is a real question and not a rhetorical one.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that uses TeXstudio on Linux (I see you yourself are partial to Void Linux). While I agree that there are many "super-duper fancy software bundles" for git, both on Windows as well as other OS, having support for version control systems within an editor can be handy as integration makes some workflows simpler (e.g. viewing a diff in the editor). This is most likely why many other IDEs have this feature.
I also agree that using git on the command line works very well. The associated (closed) issue #59 discussed why integrating a terminal window in TeXstudio might be a challenge (see especially this comment by @timhoffm).
I completely understand if this feature request is considered of low importance compared to the "real project". It is currently only labeled as enhancement.

Overleaf has git integration, and many of my collaborators dislike its web-based editor.
It would be very interesting to have an easy to use git integration in texstudio.
This would allow us to have a good editor and the social features of Overleaf.
