Comments on: Using Bazaar On a Mac http://925html.com/techniques/using-bazaar-on-a-mac/ For those of us who work with the web daily. Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:20:20 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Eric Ferraiuolo http://925html.com/techniques/using-bazaar-on-a-mac/comment-page-1/#comment-612 Eric Ferraiuolo Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:04:11 +0000 http://925html.com/?p=245#comment-612 @Tony, I'm glad you find this helpful :-) I would say the only major change in my setup is the removal of the bzr automv plugin since I can now use the <code>bzr mv --auto</code> command. I forget which of the (as you mentioned) frequent Bazaar releases this featured showed up. I've also setup the bzr-git plugin to provide inter-op with Git repos, although nothing here is Mac OS X specific. The task I would like to simplify is working with remote repositories and coming up with a way to easily to have them configured with "nicknames". This maybe as simple as digging through the Bazaar docs some more, or just waiting until a Mac OS X 10.6 Installer is created for <a href="http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/explorer/en/" rel="nofollow">Bazaar Explorer</a>. Currently installing Bazaar Explorer on Snow Leopard is a fairly crazy list of packages and tasks. @Tony, I’m glad you find this helpful :-)

This is good stuff! I was wondering if anything in your personal setup has evolved since you wrote this. (Bazaar releases are pretty frequent—I think they try for monthly updates. And since the recent 2.0 release, it might be worth checking if any features that previously required workarounds are now built-in to the core program.) Keep it coming! :) Still coming back and reading this article every once in a while. This is good stuff!

I'm guessing from this that you still must use the CLI for that sort of thing? How do you handle commits? I’m guessing from this that you still must use the CLI for that sort of thing?

When looking at it before I remember that it added a new set (about 15) of commands (aliases) to Bazaar. It seems that you execute the QBzr commands in the Terminal which launches the GUI? QBzr would be much more compelling to me if <em>it</em> executed all the <code>bzr commands</code> through the GUI. I've used <a href="http://versionsapp.com/" rel="nofollow">Versions app</a> and <a href="http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/" rel="nofollow">SmartSVN</a> when working with Subversion repositories and felt satisfied and confident. In any case, I might try out QBzr and see how it <em>feels</em>; but a feature-rich GUI app for Bazaar that's similar to Versions app for Subversion would be, I feel, the best kind of tool to have. @bialix No I haven’t.
