How do I leverage Bamboo Specs without installing an IDE?

Question

I'm a developer, but I despise Java and do not want to install a Java IDE on my machine and spend unnecessary time re-learning the language just so I can manage my CasC Bamboo Specs.

Would I be able to simply drop the exported plan Specs into my linked git repo without needing to build or do I have to actually build this configuration setup entirely just to update some settings in my pipeline?

With Repository Stored Specs you don't even need to compile Specs code locally, just commit it to the repository and Bamboo will do the rest. You can use any text editor you want, no need to use IDE.

Well, in Bamboo 6.3, there is the YAML format.

And of course, this guide:

This guide will show you how you can store Bamboo Specs in a Git repository on Bitbucket Server. This approach allows to automatically build and execute Bamboo Specs on every push you make to a Git repository
