Building

1. Install the Go programming language
2. Run go get -u golang.org/x/vgo in a terminal
3. Run go get -u github.com/nebloc/gitdo
4. Run vgo install to install gitdo to your $GOPATH/bin directory.

Installing Plugins and Hooks

As we have installed Gitdo to $GOPATH/bin, which should be a part of your $PATH as outlined in the How to Write Go Code docs, we just need to copy the Plugins and Hooks.

Gitdo has it's home folder in either %AppData%\Gitdo or ~/.gitdo (For this doc, replace $GITDO with the correct one). The folder should look like:

$GITDO/
  plugins/
    List of plugins
  hooks/
    pre-commit
    post-Commit
    push

1. Create $GITDO directory, i.e. mkdir ~/.gitdo
2. Copy the hooks folder into the directory, i.e. cp -r ./hooks ~/.gitdo
3. Copy the plugins folder into the directory, i.e. cp -r ./plugins ~/.gitdo

Version numbers

Optionally, running this command will change the version number to 0.0.0-A5-Hash where hash is the current commit hash

vgo install -ldflags "-X main.version=0.0.0-A5-$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"

Testing

Run unit tests using the command vgo test github.com/nebloc/gitdo/app/... The unit tests need a lot of work at the moment, and do use the temporary directory to create folders with git and hg repositories.
