Question

I have done many Java projects in the past and recently I have been working on python projects out of a git repo. I liked git so much I would like to start applying it my Java projects, but I would still like to work out of a Java IDE. I would like to know if there is a Java IDE that does the following:

Can clone a project given the ssh/http address.
Can run git commands (checkout, status, push, pull, ect).
Can show a network graph of the project commits.
Can add and unadd files to be committed.
Can easily checkout, commit, and push new branches.

Even if it has only some of these features, it would be great to hear about it.

Explanation / Answer

Netbeans has a Git support out-of-the-box.

Nevertheless in our company we are discouraged to use it, as it has/had a bug which led to some trouble with the git repo. Unfortunately I don't know what the bug was, as it occurred before I worked there. Therefor we use git only from the command line, which is quite easy too. This leads also to no trouble because Netbeans notices external changes in the files and also in the git repo itself.

e.g. if you perform git checkout my_branch Netbeans notices the changes in the files and also shows you the right branch in which you are currently working.
