Installing on Mac OS X

Installing on Mac OS X

Homebrew

Easy as Homebrew itself is:

Stable release

brew install git-flow-avh

Development release

brew install git-flow-avh --HEAD

wget

Even using wget its a one line effort.

Stable release

wget --no-check-certificate -q -O - https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow/raw/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh install stable| sudo bash

Development release

wget --no-check-certificate -q -O - https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow/raw/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh install develop| sudo bash

curl

wget: command not found? curl is only two. (Note that URL is where the above URL currently redirects.)

curl https://raw.github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh > gitflow-installer.sh
chmod a+x gitflow-installer.sh

Stable release

sudo bash gitflow-installer.sh install stable

Development release

sudo bash gitflow-installer.sh install develop

Post installation setup

Install GNU getopt via Homebrew:

brew install gnu-getopt.

Create a ~/.gitflow_export with the content export FLAGS_GETOPT_CMD="$(brew --prefix gnu-getopt)/bin/getopt".

For git-flow versions prior to 1.4.0-dev.28
Create a ~/.gitflow_export with the content alias getopt="$(brew --prefix gnu-getopt)/bin/getopt".

If you have installed GNU getopt through other means than Homebrew, substitute $(brew --prefix gnu-getopt)/bin/getopt with the location of the GNU getopt file.
