LibreELEC Git Command

This script installs Git within a Docker container on LibreELEC devices, enabling usage of git commands.

It is based on a forum post found in the thread Installation of git on Libreelec@LibreELEC Forum.

Installation

The installation script relies on the Kodi service addon Docker from Team LibreELEC to be installed on your Kodi system. If not already installed, this script automatically attempts to install the addon.

To install Git, simply execute the following command in your terminal:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jnk22/libreelec-git-command/main/install-git.sh | bash

You can also access the script directly here.

After installation, the git command will be readily available in your terminal!

Tested Devices

The script has been successfully tested on the following devices and LibreELEC versions:

Device	Architecture	LibreELEC Version
NUC7JYB	x86_64	11.0.6 (Kodi 20.3), 10.0.2 (Kodi 19.4)
Raspberry Pi 3	arm	10.0.2 (Kodi 19.4)
Raspberry Pi 4	aarch64	11.95.1 (Kodi 21.0 RC1)

Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and the script should function correctly on any device that runs LibreELEC and supports containers.
