Installation

To install this plan, you should run the following commands to first install, and then link the binaries this plan creates.

hab pkg install core/git

» Installing core/git

☁ Determining latest version of core/git in the 'stable' channel

☛ Verifying core/git/2.26.2/20200601121014

...

✓ Installed core/git/2.26.2/20200601121014

★ Install of core/git/2.26.2/20200601121014 complete with 1 new packages installed.

hab pkg binlink core/git

» Binlinking git from core/git into /bin

★ Binlinked git from core/git/2.26.2/20200601121014 to /bin/git

Using an example binary

You can now use the binary as normal:

/bin/git --help or git --help

usage: git [--version] [--help] [-C <path>] [-c <name>=<value>]
           [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]
           [-p | --paginate | -P | --no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare]
           [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]
           <command> [<args>]

These are common Git commands used in various situations:

start a working area (see also: git help tutorial)
   clone             Clone a repository into a new directory
   init              Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one
...

####Notes

On windows, binlink is not supported, so you can execute directly from the package:

hab pkg install core/git
hab pkg exec core/git git --help
