Manual installation
If you prefer a manual installation, please use the following instructions:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/nvie/gitflow.git
Then, you can install git-flow, using:
$ sudo make install
By default, git-flow will be installed in /usr/local. To change the prefix where git-flow will be installed, simply specify it explicitly, using:
$ sudo make prefix=/opt/local install
You can install it to your home directory (make sure $HOME/bin is in your $PATH):
$ make install prefix=$HOME
Or simply point your PATH environment variable to your git-flow checkout
directory.
Installation note:
git-flow depends on the availability of the command line utility getopt,
which may not be available in your Unix/Linux environment. Please use your
favorite package manager to install getopt. For Cygwin, install the
util-linux package to get getopt. If you use apt-get as your install
manager, the package name is opt.
