Download and run

GitStart runs on your machine with Bash and Git. Use these steps when you prefer a direct download instead of the one-line bootstrap.

Download the release

curl -fsSL -O https://richardp23.github.io/gitstart-lite/releases/v0.5.0/gitstart.sh
curl -fsSL -O https://richardp23.github.io/gitstart-lite/releases/v0.5.0/gitstart.sh.sha256

On Windows Git Bash, add --ssl-no-revoke to each curl command when you see a certificate revocation error.

If curl still fails, use PowerShell:

powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://richardp23.github.io/gitstart-lite/releases/v0.5.0/gitstart.sh' -OutFile gitstart.sh"
powershell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://richardp23.github.io/gitstart-lite/releases/v0.5.0/gitstart.sh.sha256' -OutFile gitstart.sh.sha256"

Verify the checksum

sha256sum -c gitstart.sh.sha256

On macOS you can use shasum -a 256 -c gitstart.sh.sha256.

If no checksum tool is available, review the file source before you run it.

Run GitStart

bash gitstart.sh

Optional flags: --help, --version, --plain, --no-color.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/richardp23/gitstart-lite.git
cd gitstart-lite
bash build.sh
bash dist/gitstart.sh --help

GitStart does not send telemetry. See privacy.
