## How to Use
**To use this tool, you need to install Git(>=2.23.0) first.**
You can download the latest stable from [Releases](https://github.com/sourcegit-scm/sourcegit/releases/latest) or download workflow artifacts from [Github Actions](https://github.com/sourcegit-scm/sourcegit/actions) to try this app based on latest commits.
This software creates a folder `$"{System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData}/SourceGit"`, which is platform-dependent, to store user settings, downloaded avatars and crash logs.
| OS | PATH |
| --- | --- |
| Windows | `C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\SourceGit` |
| Linux | `${HOME}/.config/SourceGit` |
| macOS | `${HOME}/Library/Application Support/SourceGit` |
For **Windows** users:
* **MSYS Git is NOT supported**. Please use official [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win) instead.
* `sourcegit_x.y.win-x64.zip` may be reported as virus by Windows Defender. I don't know why. I have manually tested the zip to be uploaded using Windows Defender before uploading and no virus was found. If you have installed .NET 8 SDK locally, I suggest you to compile it yourself. And if you have any idea about how to fix this, please open an issue.
For **macOS** users:
* Download `sourcegit_x.y.osx-x64.zip` or `sourcegit_x.y.osx-arm64.zip` from Releases. `x64` for Intel and `arm64` for Apple Silicon.
* Move `SourceGit.app` to `Applications` folder.
* Make sure your mac trusts all software from anywhere. For more information, search `spctl --master-disable`.
* Make sure [git-credential-manager](https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases) is installed on your mac.
* You may need to run `sudo xattr -cr /Applications/SourceGit.app` to make sure the software works.
For **Linux** users:
* `xdg-open` must be installed to support open native file manager.
* Make sure [git-credential-manager](https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases) is installed on your linux.
* Maybe you need to set environment variable `AVALONIA_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS`. See https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/wiki/Configuring-X11-per-monitor-DPI.
