Prerequisites

• Make sure git is installed
• Setup ssh keys for github authentication: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/

  • on OSX / linux
    • Configure your environment using .bashrc / .bash_profile if you haven't already: https://scriptingosx.com/2017/04/about-bash_profile-and-bashrc-on-macos/
    • Add ~/go/bin to the PATH variable (export PATH=$HOME/go/bin:$PATH).
    • The helper function can also be added to make installation easier:

dolt_install() {
  pushd ~/go/src/github.com/liquidata-inc/ld/dolt/go/cmd/dolt
  GO111MODULE=on go install .
  popd
}

• on Windows
  • I dont know. Do whatever windows stuff you gotta do so that %USERPROFILE%/go/bin is part of the path

Docs

• The latest documentation will always be in the tool itself. run "dolt" to see a list of standard git like commands.
  run "dolt table" to see the table subcommands. To get the help for any command use the --help flag after the name of the command.
• Initial version of the documentation looks like this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/169Zhh_r1hmxZo5V3N_aOx7i6ImJCVBbaB8EBXyH8p3o/edit#
