The pgit distribution allows to run pgit without requiring root permissions, both on posix platforms and on windows. It comes with all python dependencies, and need nothing more than a python interpreter to run.

In it's current state, it will help you with managing git-submodules.

Requirements

• python 2.6 or above
  • currently, python 2.7 is configured to be used
  • interpreter must be configured to be able to launch executable python files
• git 1.7 or newer
  • to checkout repositories

Installation

All you have to do is to clone this repository, and update all submodules as follows:

git clone https://github.com/Byron/pgit-distro
cd pgit-distro
git submodule update --init --recursive

Usage

As pgit is a commandline utility, you will need a terminal to control it. Here are a few examples

# Display information about all available subcommands
./bin/pgit -h

# list all submodules in the repository at the current working directory
./bin/pgit submodule query

# call pgit, but use python 2.6 (assuming it is installed in one of the standard locations)
./bin/pgit submodule query ---packages.python.version=2.6

# Learn about everything pgit submodule can do
./bin/pgit submodule -h
