Info: Chocolatey package
For the Windows folks in here, I created a Chocolatey package: https://chocolatey.org/packages/gitflow-avh
The source code is here: https://github.com/dhilgarth/chocolatey-packages/tree/master/manual/gitflow-avh.
Awesome. Never heard of Chocolatey before. Could you do a quick write up on how to install using Chocolatey?
Sure. Once you have Chocolatey installed, start an elevated command prompt and execute:
cinst -y gitflow-avh --version 0.0.0
That's it :) It will also install the bash completion from https://github.com/petervanderdoes/git-flow-completion Through its package dependencies, it pulls down the required unix tool getopt and its dependencies.
Unfortunately, the package is not yet approved, because the Chocolatey folks are a bit behind on their moderation. That's why you explicitly need to specify the version.
That's actually something that bothers me a bit: This repository hasn't had a new release in over a year, so it doesn't really make sense to follow the releases here. Because doing so would mean that folks get an outdated version.
@dhilgarth I see that the chocolatey package hasn't been updated since 2015. Would it be possible to do this?
I am no longer using chocolatey. You are free to fork my code and republish
Alright, I might do that. Out of curiosity, is there any specific reason why you stopped using chocolatey?
I just realized that I still went to the website and download the latest version instead of going through chocolatey. It just didn't match how I worked.
