Best way to integrate Git with Ant?

Question

I am looking for the best way to integrate Git with Ant. Is there a widely used Ant task for Git? Does anyone have any experience using Git through Ant (e.g. dedicated task, exec call, etc)?

Answer 1

Ant supports the exec command that you can use to pass any command (including Git) to the command line for execution. You can always fall back on that.

Answer 2

Doesn't look like there were a set of Ant tasks for Git.

This blog talks about some rudimentary tasks for working with Git.

Answer 3

Here is Git Ant Tasks via JGit: http://aniszczyk.org/2011/05/12/git-ant-tasks-via-jgit/ .
