Install on Debian

It should work on any Debian based distributions : Linux Mint, Ubuntu…

Requirements

git-gamble doesn’t repackage git, it uses the one installed on your system

Install git manually
Make sure it is available in your $PATH, you can check it with this command :
```
git --version
```
If it has been well settled, it should output something like this :
```
git version 2.54.0
```
Else if it has been badly settled, it should output something like this :
```
git: command not found
```

Using with old `git` version

Note : if you are using a very old version of git (below 2.36)

With old git version, git-gamble will fail with this error

git: 'hook' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar commands are
        fork
        lock
        root
Failed to execute `git hook run --ignore-missing pre-gamble -- pass` in . returns code 1
The pre-gamble hook returns code 1, but it should be 0
You can test the hook by executing : git hook run --ignore-missing pre-gamble -- pass
No tests have been run, and nothing has been committed or reverted

git 2.36 was released the 2022-04-18, and is now available in most package managers

If you can, try to upgrade git using your package manager

Else, to use git-gamble with git below 2.36, git-gamble’s hooks must be disabled by installing git-gamble with the option to disable the feature

Install

Go to the package registry page
Go to the latest version of git-gamble-debian
Download the latest version git-gamble_2.14.6_amd64.deb
Install package

Execute this command as root :
```
dpkg --install git-gamble*.deb
```

Note: the latest version, not yet released, is also available

This is not really convenient, but a better way could come when GitLab Debian Package Manager MVC will be available

Check the installation

Check if all have been well settled :

git gamble --version

If it has been well settled , it should output this :

git-gamble 2.14.6

Else if it has been badly settled , it should output this :

git : 'gamble' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Update

There is no update mechanism

Uninstall

Execute this command as root :

dpkg --remove git-gamble

Improving installation

Installation is currently not really convenient, so contributions are welcome

Feel free to add package to your favourite package repository
