git
is covered by the GPL, and the position of the FSF, for the time being, is that the GPL is incompatible with AppStore distribution. I respect that decision, so a-Shell only provides BSD commands.
lg2
(libgit2) is an executable that provides a similar behaviour as git
(but without the submodules part and the GPL license). You can type pkg install git
to install a small script that with call lg2
every time you type git
.
That being said, neofetch
seems to be using bash
, and a-Shell doesn't have bash
for the same reason (it's covered by the GPL). The makefile doesn't do anything, execpt copy the binary and the man page in the right place.
Is it possible to add gitoxide (which provides gix
as a git implementation) instead of git? It’s MIT licensed and it compiles to ios. It is currently missing a lot of subcommands (e.g. git-commit
) but it’s progressing nicely and honestly git-clone
is probably the most common use case.
So far it doesn't work (as in: it doesn't cross-compile for iOS, despite what was said). I've contacted the poster in order to get more information. In its current state, according to your description, gitoxide
provides fewer features than lg2
, which we already have.
I wasn't aware libgit2 has a git reimplementation nor that it is included in a-shell already :)
Edit: I somehow completely missed that entire paragraph in your previous comment, sorry for bumping the issue
Maybe lg2
should be symlinked/hardlinked/aliased as git
, or suggest lg2
when trying to use git
.
The situation seems unlikely to change in the future, maybe the issue should be closed?
If you type "pkg install git", it will add a wrapper around lg2
so that git command
works.
There are differences between lg2
and git
, though, and there are vim plugins that call git
when it exists in order to update themselves. By sheer bad luck, they call git
with options that do not work with lg2
, so I had to remove the symlink/hardlink.
Is there any possibility to add
git
andneofetch
commands to this shell?I can see the command
make
in the output ofhelp -h
, which provides a possibility to buildneofetch
, but it seems to be missing most of thegit
dependencies which need to be installed separately
