A collection of custom git commands which make it easier to create bots which commit and push changes automatically.

Navigate to the releases page and pick the latest git-gau-dist.tar.gz tarball. Copy it to the target machine and unpack it there.

$ scp dist/git-gau-dist.tar.gz me@example.com:~
$ ssh me@example.com sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf ~:git-gau-dist.tar.gz

Preferred method: Build a distribution tarball, copy it to the target machine and unpack it there.

$ make dist
$ scp dist/git-gau-dist.tar.gz me@example.com:~
$ ssh me@example.com sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf ~:git-gau-dist.tar.gz

Alternative method: Check out this repository on the traget machine and install it directly. The destination directory can be changed with the prefix variable in order to change the installation prefix to something else than /usr/local.

$ make all
$ sudo make prefix=/opt/local install

Pandoc is necessary in order to build the man pages. This step can be skipped by using the install-bin target.
