Install a project on GitHib by running its make install script. Basically, clib-install(1) without the package.json requirement.
Expects libcurl to be installed and linkable.
With clib, do:
$ clib install stephenmathieson/ghi
With git, do:
$ git clone https://github.com/stephenmathieson/ghi.git /tmp/ghi
$ cd /tmp/ghi
$ make && [sudo] make install
$ ./ghi --help
Usage: ghi [options] <repo ...>
Options:
-V, --version output program version
-h, --help output help information
-o, --out <dir> set the download directory
-s, --show-output show install output
-c, --command <command> use a custom command
You may install a repo at a specific version, branch, etc:
$ [sudo] ./ghi visionmedia/git-extras@1.6.0
fetch : https://github.com/visionmedia/git-extras/archive/1.6.0.tar.gz
untar : /tmp/git-extras-visionmedia.tar.gz
installed : visionmedia/git-extras@1.6.0Installing multiple repos will kick off a thread for each. This makes installs a bit faster:
$ ./ghi stephenmathieson/git-{standup,sync,upstream} visionmedia/watch -o ./repos
fetch : https://github.com/stephenmathieson/git-standup/archive/master.tar.gz
fetch : https://github.com/stephenmathieson/git-sync/archive/master.tar.gz
fetch : https://github.com/stephenmathieson/git-upstream/archive/master.tar.gz
fetch : https://github.com/visionmedia/watch/archive/master.tar.gz
untar : ./repos/git-sync-stephenmathieson.tar.gz
installed : stephenmathieson/git-sync
untar : ./repos/watch-visionmedia.tar.gz
untar : ./repos/git-standup-stephenmathieson.tar.gz
untar : ./repos/git-upstream-stephenmathieson.tar.gz
installed : stephenmathieson/git-standup
installed : stephenmathieson/git-upstream
installed : visionmedia/watch
Install someuser/somerepo using command ./configure && make && make install:
$ ./ghi someuser/somerepo --command "./configure && make && make install"
[ ... ]ghi can install itself, so for updates, just run ghi stephenmathieson/ghi ;)
