Installation Guide¶

This page is only about getting the git-drs binary onto a machine. It does not teach the repository workflow.

If you want the shortest onboarding path, use Quick Start. If you want the workflow explained, use Getting Started.

Release Install¶

This guide uses release v0.6.0.

install -m 0755 git-drs "$HOME/.local/bin/git-drs"

There is no packaged Windows release in this flow. Build git-drs from source instead.

PATH¶

If $HOME/.local/bin is not already in your shell path, add it in your shell startup file.

Example:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"

Verify The Install¶

git-drs version
git drs version

Build From Source¶

Use this when you need a local development build or a platform without a packaged release.

git clone https://github.com/calypr/git-drs.git
cd git-drs
go build

Then move or copy the built binary somewhere on your PATH.

What Installation Does Not Do¶

Installing the binary does not configure a repository. Repository-local setup now happens when you run:

git drs remote add ...
