How to debug GitExtensions

The installer is build using WiX. You need to install WiX when you want to build the installer. This can be downloaded here: http://wix.sourceforge.net/. If you do not want to build the installer, just open the solution and ignore the warning.

  • Open the solution file (GitCommands.sln or GitCommands.VS2010.sln)
  • Hit F5 to compile and run GitExtensions

How to contribute code

  • Login in github (you need an account)
  • Fork the main repository from github
  • Push your changes to your fork

If you do not want to use github, I also accept mailed patches. Just make sure the patch is send as an attachement and not in the body of the mail.
