SimpleGit

This is a very simple git client based on libgit2 with AmigaOS being the major target operating system. However, other platforms are equally important as this eases testing.

Usage

The program is currently called sgit to differentiate it from the standard git command. If you start the sgit executable without any arguments, a list of all supported commands will be printed. Note that even if a command is listed there, it it likely a very crippled verison of the original version.

The AmigaOS version of SimpleGit uses a statically linked OpenSSL version. Even if it is not recommended in the general case, you can use the GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY environment variable to skip the SSL verification. E.g., enter

 1.> setenv GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY 1
 1.> sgit clone https://github.com/sba1/simplemail simplemail

to clone and the SimpleMail repository into the simplemail folder ignoring any SSL relatated problems.

Generally note that this is software is in a very preliminary state. It may be not usable at all in terms of functions it provides but also in terms of bugs it contains. Consider it as a prototype and use it at your own risk.

To display diff in color the normal sgit diff --color command can be used. But if the output does not look good for you in the AmigaDOS console, you can use the gitdiff script instead. Make sure it has the Executable and Script bit set, and exists in the path. Edit the E[47m and E[45m entries to your liking. Ref: http://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/AmigaOS_Manual:_AmigaDOS_Advanced_Features The script uses sed which is part of the SDK.

Building SimpleGit for AmigaOS

Currently, it only is possible to compile SimpleGit via a cross compiler and CMake. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/adtools/ or https://github.com/sba1/adtools/ how to get the cross compiler environment.

Once everything is set up, building SimpleGit is as easy as typing

 $ make -f makefile.aos4

in the shell command prompt. Snapshot builds are available from https://sonumina.de/jenkins/job/sgit.amiga/. That site's SHA1 fingerprint is E5 7A 7E 48 FE 4C BC 36 1D A8 D9 EE 1B 43 04 C6 10 B8 FF 81.

Building SimpleGit for other platforms

Among other stuff, CMake is needed to build the tool. Then type

 $ git submodule init
 $ git submodule update
 $ make

Testing on other platforms

If you want to test git2 with the tests of the original git, run:

 $ make test

on a POSIX-compatible operating system. This can take a lot of time (it compiles git and then launch thousands of tests). As we are using the git test framework, nearly all what can be done with git test can be done with our test base (i.e. set GIT_SKIP_TESTS or GIT_TEST_OPTS).

You can run a particular test by giving its name:

 $ make -C tests t0000-basic.sh

Origins

Its code base derived from https://github.com/vfr-nl/git2/ (thanks to Vincent van Ravesteijn and Motiejus Jakštys), from which it was forked to https://github.com/Romain-Geissler/git2.git. It was then forked by Chris Young to https://github.com/chris-y/git2.git, which is the direct parent of SimpleGit.

It is currently developed at https://github.com/sba1/simplegit.git with https://git.gitorious.org/amiga-ports/git2-amiga.git being a mirror. The sources contains work from the examples included within libgit2.

Thanks for testing
