gm_git

What?

gm_git is a binary module for Garry's Mod, that makes it possible to fetch, merge, push, commit etc git repositories. See https://github.com/wyozi/g-ace for an example usecase.

Usage

API is not stable. See LuaBridge.cpp.

Building

Requirements

You need to build libgit2 before building the Garry's Mod module. After cloning gm_git, run git submodule update, and then follow the instructions at https://libgit2.github.com/docs/guides/build-and-link/

You also need premake4. There is a premake4.exe included for windows in the repository.

Windows

• run BuildProjects.bat
• open windows-vs2010 folder and build the project in Visual Studio
• there should be a gmsv_luagit_win32.dll in builds/windows

Note: When compiling libgit2 statically (using BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF) on Windows, remember to change Runtime Library to Multi Threaded Debug or you can just build a non-debug version of libgit2.

Linux

• run sh BuildProjects.bat (don't worry it will work)
• open linux-gmake and run make
• there should be a libgmsv_luagit_linux.so in builds/linux, rename that to gmsv_luagit_linux.dll and it is usable as a Garry's Mod module

git2.dll or libgit2.so

If you did not set libgit2 to produce static libraries, you're gonna need the libgit2 dynamic library in steamapps/common/GarrysMod/ on clients and similar place on servers.
