Installing on BSD systems

Installing on BSD systems

To install git-flow on BSD systems, like FreeBSD. OpenBSD or NetBSD, follow these instructions:

$ git clone git://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow.git

Then, you can install git-flow, using:

$ sudo make install

By default, git-flow will be installed in /usr/local/bin. To change the prefix where git-flow will be installed, simply specify it explicitly, using:

$ sudo make prefix=/opt/local install

This will install git-flow in /opt/local/bin

Post installation setup

git-flow depends on the availability of the command line utility gexpr, which may not be available in your BSD environment.
Please use your favorite package manager to install gexpr found in sysutils/coreutils.
