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://wixtoolset.org/. If you do not want to build the installer, just open the solution and ignore the warning.

  • Open the solution file (GitExtensions.VS2010.sln or GitExtensions.VS2012.sln)
  • Hit F5 to compile and run GitExtensions

How to contribute code

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.

How to create the installer

Installing Nuget in Monodevelop/Xamarin Studio

Following steps will add nuget package management capabilities to your monoDevelop/Xamarin Studio. Installing nuget requires at least Monodevelop version 3.0.5.

OBS: Monodevelop 4.0 is Xamarin Studio

On monoDevelop preferences, you will find a new "Nuget" option. Check the box that says "Enable package restore".

If by any reason your xbuild is not downloading and installing the packages, manually run the following command to get all the missing packages. Make sure you run it at the top level directory of your solution, like the example below:
