Building Gitzer

The build script#

The source repository has a script which is used to build the tar file that is posted on the releases page. Simply run it in the root of the source code to obtain the final tar file. The script assumes that the gitzer source directory is in ~/Gitzer (which it should be if you are using the Vagrant method of development).

./tools/build-gitzer

Naming convention#

The final output of the above command will be gitzer-${version}.tar.gz where the value of $version is read from the VERSION file present in the project root.
