# Installing git-extras
|
|
|
|
## Installing with a package manager
|
|
|
|
### Debian
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo $apt_pref update
|
|
$ sudo $apt_pref install git-extras
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Mac OS X with Homebrew
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ brew install git-extras
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building from source
|
|
|
|
Obtain the git-extras source by cloning [its GitHub repo](https://github.com/tj/git-extras.git) or downloading a tarball of a [release](https://github.com/tj/git-extras/releases). Then install it by doing `make install` from the source tree.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/tj/git-extras.git
|
|
$ cd git-extras
|
|
# checkout the latest tag
|
|
$ git checkout $(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))
|
|
$ [sudo] make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, git-extras is installed under `/usr/local`. To install it at an
|
|
alternate location, specify a `PREFIX` when calling `make`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Non-root users can install under their home directory
|
|
make install PREFIX=$HOME/software
|
|
|
|
# For third-party software kept under /opt
|
|
make install PREFIX=/opt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to relocate the bulk of the installation but still have configuration
|
|
files installed to the system `/etc` dir or other alternate location, you can
|
|
specify `SYSCONFDIR` in addition to `PREFIX`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local SYSCONFDIR=/etc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the Makefile for details on advanced configuration options.
|
|
|
|
## Installing from network
|
|
|
|
One-liner:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -sSL http://git.io/git-extras-setup | sudo bash /dev/stdin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Updating
|
|
|
|
If you installed git-extras with a package manager, use that package manager's tools to update it.
|
|
|
|
If you installed git-extras from source, you can run `git-extras update` to update it to the latest release. Be aware that this may lose any configuration options you specified during the original installation.
|
|
|
|
## Windows (use it at your own risk)
|
|
|
|
First, please install `Git for Windows 2.x` from 'https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases'
|
|
and the basic [msys2][1].
|
|
Second, clone the `git-extras` repo into any folder you like.
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/tj/git-extras.git
|
|
# checkout the latest tag (optional)
|
|
git checkout $(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that, execute the `install.cmd` in the command prompt, with the path your `Git for Windows 2.x` is installed.
|
|
For example, I install it in the folder called `C:\SCM\PortableGit` and
|
|
the `PREFIX` should be `C:\SCM\PortableGit\mingw64` (for 64-bit release)
|
|
or `C:\SCM\PortableGit\mingw32` (for 32-bit release). So I will execute the `install.cmd` like this:
|
|
```batch
|
|
install.cmd "C:\SCM\PortableGit\mingw64"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Last, please copy `colrm.exe` and `column.exe` from `folder-your-msys2-installed/usr/bin` to
|
|
`folder-your-git-installed/usr/bin`.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy `git-extras`!
