Mac OS X

Installing on Mac OS X

Homebrew

If you're using homebrew, it's simple:

$ brew install git-flow

MacPorts

If you're using MacPorts, it's simple, too:

$ port install git-flow

If you run into problems due to Xcode 4.2 upgrades & MacPorts 2.04 with the expat dependency not installing then simply use the workaround specified in https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist like so:

$ sudo port install expat
--->  Configuring expat
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for expat is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_expat/expat/main.log
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

$ port install git-flow

wget

Even using wget its a one line effort.

wget --no-check-certificate -q -O - https://github.com/nvie/gitflow/raw/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh | sudo bash

curl

wget: command not found? curl is only three. (Note that URL is where the above URL currently redirects.)

curl https://raw.github.com/nvie/gitflow/develop/contrib/gitflow-installer.sh > gitflow-installer.sh
chmod a+x gitflow-installer.sh
sudo bash gitflow-installer.sh
