Jotgit is a command-line tool that allows you to add, edit, and delete notes from any Git-based repository. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Jotgit on Arch Linux.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
First, we need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S cmake boost boost-libs git
This command will install CMake, Boost, Boost-libs, and Git on your system.
Next, we will clone the Jotgit repository from Github. Open your terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jdleesmiller/jotgit.git
This command will download the Jotgit repository into your current working directory.
Now we will build and install Jotgit from the source files. Navigate to the directory where you cloned the Jotgit repository and run the following commands:
cd jotgit
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
These commands will create a build directory, configure CMake with the appropriate settings, build the source code, and install the executable files on your system.
To make sure that Jotgit is installed correctly, open your terminal and run the following command:
jotgit --version
If Jotgit is installed correctly, you should see a message that displays the version of Jotgit that you installed.
