Build

How to build with libgit2 statically linked into a single executable without dependencies:

• Install development packages for libssh2 and openssl:

  sudo apt install libssh2-1-dev libssl-dev
  

• Inside the static folder there's the git2go library added as a submodule (pointing to a correct v30 release). This, in turn, contains libgit2 submodule. To ensure the submodules are cloned run:

  git submodule update --init --recursive
  

• Build the static git2go library:

  cd static/git2go && make install-static
  

• Ensure our git-get module uses the static git2go library instead of the one downloaded by Go modules by having the following line in go.mod:

  replace github.com/libgit2/git2go/v30 => ./static/git2go
  

• Build, install and test git-get with --tags static flag, eg:

  go build -i --tags static
  go test --tags static
