%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Git Git is a free and open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do. Git is used for version control of files, much like tools such as Mercurial, Bazaar, , , Perforce, and Team Foundation Server. &lfs74_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &git-md5sum; Download size: &git-size; Estimated disk space required: &git-buildsize; Estimated build time: &git-time; Additional Downloads http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-manpages-&git-version;.tar.gz (only needed if you've not installed asciidoc and xmlto) http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-htmldocs-&git-version;.tar.gz and other docs (only needed if you've not installed asciidoc). Git Dependencies Recommended (needed to use Git over http, https, ftp or ftps), , and Optional , with Perl bindings (for git svn), and (gitk, a simple Git repository viewer, uses Tk at runtime) Optional (to create the man pages and html docs) AsciiDoc and User Notes: Install Git by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib \ --with-gitconfig=/etc/gitconfig && make If you have installed AsciiDoc you can create the html version of the man pages and other docs: make html If you have installed AsciiDoc and you can create the man pages: make man To check the results, issue: make test. Now, as the root user: make install If you created the man pages, install them as the root user: make install-man If you created the html docs, install them as the root user: make htmldir=/usr/share/doc/git-&git-version; install-html && mkdir -p /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/man-pages/{html,text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/{git*.txt,man-pages/text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/{git*.,index.,man-pages/}html && mkdir /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/technical/{html,text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/technical/{*.txt,text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/technical/{*.,}html && mkdir /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/howto/{html,text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/howto/{*.txt,text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/howto/{*.,}html Alternatively, If you downloaded the man pages untar them as the root user: tar -xf ../git-manpages-&git-version;.tar.gz -C /usr/share/man --no-same-owner --no-overwrite-dir If you downloaded the html docs untar them as the root user: mkdir -p /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/man-pages/{html,text} && tar -xf ../git-htmldocs-&git-version;.tar.gz \ -C /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version; --no-same-owner --no-overwrite-dir && find /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version; -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; && find /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version; -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/{git*.txt,man-pages/text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/{git*.,index.,man-pages/}html && mkdir /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/technical/{html,text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/technical/{*.txt,text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/technical/{*.,}html && mkdir /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/howto/{html,text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/howto/{*.txt,text} && mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;/howto/{*.,}html --with-gitconfig=/etc/gitconfig: This sets /etc/gitconfig as the file that stores the default, system wide, Git settings. --without-python: Use this switch if Python is not installed. --with-libpcre: Use this switch if PCRE is installed. tar -xf ../git-manpages-&git-version;.tar.gz -C /usr/share/man --no-same-owner: This untars git-manpages-&git-version;.tar.gz. The -C option makes tar change directory to /usr/share/man before it starts to decompress the docs. The --no-same-owner option stops tar from preserving the user and group details of the files. This is useful as that user or group may not exist on your system; this could (potentially) be a security risk. mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version; ...: These commands move some of the files into subfolders to make it easier to sort through the docs and find what you're looking for. find ... chmod ...: These commands correct the permissions in the shipped documentation tar file. ~/.gitconfig and /etc/gitconfig ~/.gitconfig /etc/gitconfig Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories git, git-receive-pack and git-upload-archive (hardlinked to each other); git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack and gitk (this one is optional) None /usr/lib/git-core, /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version;, /usr/share/git-core, /usr/share/git-gui, /usr/share/gitk (optional), /usr/share/gitweb, /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/<5.x.y>/Git and /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/&lfs-perl-version;/auto/Git Short Descriptions git is the stupid content tracker. git git-cvsserver is a CVS server emulator for Git. git-cvsserver gitk (optional) is a graphical Git repository browser (needs ). gitk git-receive-pack is invoked by git send-pack and updates the repository with the information fed from the remote end. git-receive-pack git-shell is a login shell for SSH accounts to provide restricted Git access. git-shell git-upload-archive is invoked by git archive --remote and sends a generated archive to the other end over the git protocol. git-upload-archive git-upload-pack is invoked by git fetch-pack, it discovers what objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing. git-upload-pack
