What is it?
-----------
A universal installer for Git on OS X supporting Mac OS X 10.4.8 or
later including PowerPC/Intel and both 32 and 64 bit.
Isn't there one already?
------------------------
Yes, there is another OS X installer for Git available. That one,
however, did not meet my needs so I created this one and decided to
share it in case anyone else has similar requirements.
Features
--------
* This installer includes PowerPC/Intel 32/64 bit binaries and runs on
10.4.8 or later. So if you're running PPC 10.5 on a G5 and need a 64-
bit Git you're good to go.
* The Git translations ARE included and may optionally be chosen based
on the System Preferences languages selection(s) instead of the LANG
and related environment variables.
* Besides the man pages; the html docs, release notes, api, howto etc.
docs are also included.
* This is a Secure Transport-based Git -- no OpenSSL is used. This
means all root certificates (by default) come from the standard OS X
keychain location(s). Both git imap-send and git send-email operate
using Secure Transport in this build (via libcurl).
* git send-email, git imap-send and git instaweb work out-of-the-box
with no additional software installation required.
* git subtree and git-credential-osxkeychain are included.
* A build of the curl command-line utility that uses Secure Transport
is also included (may be optionally disabled in the installer) for
convenience.
* A build of the GnuPG gpg utility (with docs) is included (may be
optionally disabled in the installer) for signing/verifying
convenience which also supports creating top secret strength RSA keys.
* A build of TopGit is included (may be optionally disabled in the
installer) for patch management.
* Library headers are included (may be optionally disabled in the
installer) for ease of building a custom Git against the same
libraries the installed Git uses.
* Provides a complete solution for using Git on Mac OS X 10.4.x and
10.5.x including full support for https/imaps/ftps/smtps TLS
certificates which use the SHA-2 family of hash functions (such as
SHA-256).
* Fully supports TLS 1.2 when run on a version of OS X with TLS 1.2
support (OS X 10.9 and later).
* Currently provides Git version 2.1.4 (with backports of the
executable-config-file fix, reflog-reading fix and imap-send-via-
libcurl patch). Installers for later versions of Git are planned.
