Installation

Install from crates.io

cargo install rsmultigit

This downloads, compiles, and installs the latest published version into ~/.cargo/bin/.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/veltzer/rsmultigit.git
cd rsmultigit
cargo build --release

The binary will be at target/release/rsmultigit.

To install it system-wide:

sudo cp target/release/rsmultigit /usr/local/bin/

Dependencies

RSMultiGit links against libgit2 (via the git2 crate) for native git repo inspection. The C library is compiled from source during the build, so no system packages are required beyond a C compiler and CMake (provided by your Rust toolchain).

Release profile

For an optimized binary, add the following to Cargo.toml:

[profile.release]
strip = true        # Remove debug symbols
lto = true          # Link-time optimization across all crates
codegen-units = 1   # Single codegen unit for better optimization
