submodules are optional or may also be satisfied by system libraries.
**External Dependencies**
* Qt (required >= 5.12)
**Included Dependencies**
* libgit2 (required)
* cmark (required)
* git (only needed for the credential helpers)

How to Build
------------
**Initialize Submodules**
git submodule init
git submodule update
**Build OpenSSL**
# Start from root of gittyup repo.
cd dep/openssl/openssl
Windows:
perl Configure VC-WIN64A
nmake
macOS (Intel):
./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc no-shared
make
macOS (Apple Silicon)
./Configure darwin64-arm64-cc no-shared
make
Linux:
./config -fPIC
make
**Configure Build**
# Start from root of gittyup repo.
mkdir -p build/release
cd build/release
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..
If you have Qt installed in a non-standard location, you may have to
specify the path to Qt by passing `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=`
where `` points to the Qt install directory that contains
`bin`, `lib`, etc.
**Build**

How to Install
-----------------
### Linux
The easiest way to install Gittyup is by using [Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.Murmele.Gittyup).
**Arch Linux**
Install the `gittyup` package from the Arch User Repository.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gittyup.git
cd gittyup
makepkg -si
Or use an AUR helper.
Install `gittyup-git` for the VCS build.
### Mac OS
**Homebrew**
Install the `gittyup` cask from [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/).
brew install gittyup
### Flatpak from terminal
If you want a more pure console use, this script run flatpak version disowning the process and silence the output pushing it to /dev/null.
Just save the script somewhere in your path, for example `/usr/bin` (or `~/.local/bin` if you have exported it), give execution permissions `chmod +x`, and run `gittyup` from your terminal.
```bash
#!/bin/bash
DIR=$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")
function run_disown() {
"$@" & disown
}
function run_disown_silence(){
run_disown "$@" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
}
run_disown_silence flatpak run com.github.Murmele.Gittyup
```
