README

        
Please Note!

============

GitAhead is no longer under active development. Low-level maintenance and bug

fix releases will be made as necessary for the foreseeable future, but no new

features or major changes are planned at this time. Please consider continuing

development in a *rebranded* fork for anything other than trivial changes.

GitAhead - Understand Your History

==================================

GitAhead is a graphical Git client designed to help you understand

and manage your source code history. It's available as a [pre-built

binary for Windows, Linux, and macOS](https://gitahead.github.io/gitahead.com/), or can be built from source by

following the directions below.

Build Environment

-----------------

* C++11 compiler

  * Windows - MSVC >= 2017 recommended

  * Linux - GCC >= 6.2 recommended

  * macOS - Xcode >= 10.1 recommended

* CMake >= 3.3.1

* Ninja (optional)

Dependencies

------------

External dependencies can be satisfied by system libraries or installed

separately. Included dependencies are submodules of this repository. Some

submodules are optional or may also be satisfied by system libraries.

**External Dependencies**

* Qt (required >= 5.9)

**Included Dependencies**

* libgit2 (required)

* cmark (required)

* git (only needed for the credential helpers)

* libssh2 (needed by `libgit2` for SSH support)

* openssl (needed by `libssh2` and `libgit2` on some platforms)

Note that building `OpenSSL` on Windows requires `Perl` and `NASM`.

How to Build

------------

**Initialize Submodules**

    git submodule init

    git submodule update

**Build OpenSSL**

    # Start from root of gitahead repo.

    cd dep/openssl/openssl

Win:

    perl Configure VC-WIN64A

    nmake

Mac:

    ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc no-shared

    make

Linux:

    ./config -fPIC

    make

**Configure Build**

    # Start from root of gitahead repo.

    mkdir -p build/release

    cd build/release

    cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..

If you have Qt installed in a non-standard location, you may have to

specify the path to Qt by passing `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=`

where `` points to the Qt install directory that contains

`bin`, `lib`, etc.

**Build**

    ninja
