Gitoxide Installer Script

This script installs Rust and gitoxide, a fast, opinionated Git library for Rust, on your system. It supports macOS, Linux, and Windows (via WSL or other Unix-like environments).

Prerequisites

Before running this script, ensure you have the following installed:

• curl: Used to download the Rust installer.
• git: Needed for installing gitoxide and managing git repositories.
• cargo: The Rust package manager, which is installed as part of the Rust installation process.

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the install_gitoxide.sh file:

   git clone https://github.com/MrAshCreates/Gitoxide-Installer.git
   cd your-repo

2. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x install_gitoxide.sh

3. Run the script:

   ./install_gitoxide.sh

Usage

• When you run the script, it checks if Rust is installed. If not, it installs Rust via the Rustup installer.
• It then installs gitoxide using Cargo, the Rust package manager.
• If gitoxide is already installed, the script will prompt you to reinstall or uninstall it.
• If you're on macOS or Linux, the script gives you the option to install Rust and gitoxide via Homebrew.
• After installation, the Cargo bin directory ($HOME/.cargo/bin) is added to your PATH to make gix (gitoxide command-line tool) accessible.

Usage Examples

Installing Rust and gitoxide via Homebrew (macOS and Linux)

If you prefer to use Homebrew for installation, follow these steps:

1. Run the script:

   ./install_gitoxide.sh

2. When prompted, type y to install Rust and gitoxide via Homebrew.

Reinstalling or Uninstalling gitoxide

If you already have gitoxide installed and want to reinstall or uninstall it, follow these steps:

1. Run the script:

   ./install_gitoxide.sh

2. When prompted, select r to reinstall or u to uninstall gitoxide.

Notes

• This script assumes you have administrative privileges to install packages on your system.
• On Windows, ensure you are running the script within a Unix-like environment (e.g., WSL, Git Bash).
