Git installation
|
|
|
|
Normally you can just do "make" followed by "make install", and that
|
|
will install the git programs in your own ~/bin/ directory. If you want
|
|
to do a global install, you can do
|
|
|
|
make prefix=/usr install
|
|
|
|
(or prefix=/usr/local, of course). Some day somebody may send me a RPM
|
|
spec file or something, and you can do "make rpm" or whatever.
|
|
|
|
Issues of note:
|
|
|
|
- git normally installs a helper script wrapper called "git", which
|
|
conflicts with a similarly named "GNU interactive tools" program.
|
|
|
|
Tough. Either don't use the wrapper script, or delete the old GNU
|
|
interactive tools. None of the core git stuff needs the wrapper,
|
|
it's just a convenient shorthand and while it is documented in some
|
|
places, you can always replace "git commit" with "git-commit-script"
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
But let's face it, most of us don't have GNU interactive tools, and
|
|
even if we had it, we wouldn't know what it does. I don't think it
|
|
has been actively developed since 1997, and people have moved over to
|
|
graphical file managers.
|
|
|
|
- Git is reasonably self-sufficient, but does depend on a few external
|
|
programs and libraries:
|
|
|
|
- "zlib", the compression library. Git won't build without it.
|
|
|
|
- "openssl". The git-rev-list program uses bignum support from
|
|
openssl, and unless you specify otherwise, you'll also get the
|
|
SHA1 library from here.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have openssl, you can use one of the SHA1 libraries
|
|
that come with git (git includes the one from Mozilla, and has
|
|
its own PowerPC-optimized one too - see the Makefile), and you
|
|
can avoid the bignum support by excising git-rev-list support
|
|
for "--merge-order" (by hand).
|
|
|
|
- "libcurl". git-http-pull uses this. You can disable building of
|
|
that program if you just want to get started.
|
|
|
|
- "GNU diff" to generate patches. Of course, you don't _have_ to
|
|
generate patches if you don't want to, but let's face it, you'll
|
|
be wanting to. Or why did you get git in the first place?
|
|
|
|
Non-GNU versions of the diff/patch programs don't generally support
|
|
the unified patch format (which is the one git uses), so you
|
|
really do want to get the GNU one. Trust me, you will want to
|
|
do that even if it wasn't for git. There's no point in living
|
|
in the dark ages any more.
|
|
|
|
- "merge", the standard UNIX three-way merge program. It usually
|
|
comes with the "rcs" package on most Linux distributions, so if
|
|
you have a developer install you probably have it already, but a
|
|
"graphical user desktop" install might have left it out.
|
|
|
|
You'll only need the merge program if you do development using
|
|
git, and if you only use git to track other peoples work you'll
|
|
never notice the lack of it.
