How to install git-gq

Install from source

Note

Usually you have a distribution tar.gz file. If this is the case see below at “Install from distribution”.

Check out the repository:

git clone https://github.com/goetzpf/git-gq.git

Build distribution directory:

administration_tools/doc-rebuild.sh
administration_tools/mk-dist.sh

Now go to directory “dist:

cd dist

Unpack the tar file:

tar -xzf git-gq-*.tar.gz

See with ls -l which directory was created and change into that directory:

cd git-gq-<SOME-VERSION-NUMBER>

And continue below at “Install from distribution”.

You can install git-gq system-wide if you have “sudo” rights, or in a local directory.

In both cases you do this with the script install.sh.

Run:

./install.sh install global

Run:

./install.sh install DIR

In any case, git-gq can be uninstalled with:

git-gq-uninstall.sh

The script is installed at the same location as the program git-gq.
