Compiling for Windows 10

I seem this line is unnecessary in build_libs.sh

I think the build script should not need to install a package. But the main reason for it is that apt-get is not used by every Linux distribution. Installing a package also requires root privileges. So users have to run the script with sudo then it might compile binary which only accessible by the root.
Instead, we can use scons -v to check the availability of scons.

The release link is broken in wiki. Here is the correct link https://github.com/godotengine/godot-git-plugin/releases

The normal developer workflow for this plugin requires using a custom api.json generated from the target Godot executable more often than not because we mostly have to make changes to Godot itself to improve the API that this plugin has to then implement.

This process is however documented in godot-cpp but we don't actually mention that we use this workflow in the README anywhere as of now.

Would be nice to have it in there so that people can easily work on this and of course it helps the people already hacking on this project.

As of right now, if you select multiple checkboxes in the staging panel, it only toggles the topmost selected one when pressing spacebar. Making it toggle all would be a nice little change.

Greetings,
I'm getting these errors when I follow the installation steps. It is similar to issue #11 but not exact. Please let me know if you need more details.

 Can't open dynamic library: /home/alderin/Dropbox/Code/Godot/AldVenture/bin/x11/libgitapi.so. Error: /home/alderin/Dropbox/Code/Godot/AldVenture/bin/x11/libgitapi.so: undefined symbol: deflateInit_

It seems every time I start up the godot editor and open my project I have to re-initialize the VCS functionality. Is there no way to enable it automatically once the plugin is saved in the project's GDNative plugins section?

Hi. On my computer I've set gpg signing for all projects but when I create a commit on godot It'll not have my signature. What should I do to sign my commits?

I am trying to add the git plugin to Godot 3.3. The files are in the root project directory (not in a folder) and the plugin is enabled in the project settings. I was able to click setup VCS, select GitAPI (the only option) and I click Initialize but it doesn't seem like anything happened. There is not commit tab and I looked around and I don't see any other buttons. If I open the same exact project in Godot 3.2, then the tab is there so I definitely think it's something with 3.3. Any help?

Hello,
If a project already has a git repository there should be no need to Initialise it again. Perhaps check for .git existence (or maybe better a git rev-parse to return if it's valid) on startup then the button can be removed/updated accordingly.

To save on another issue, would be nice to have a push option, even if a first version meant you had to add your own remote and create the upstream branch prior so the plugin simply ran a 'push' and presumed it was configured ok...

OS: MacOS (10.14.6)
Godot: 3.2.3 (stable)

When I click "Stage Selected" or "Stage All" I am told "Stage contains 1 file" at the bottom, but the file remains Yellow in the staging area in the UI and the git index is not changed when I look at git status. Commit Changes does commit the staged file, but there is no way for me to see what is staged, and what isn't. Shouldn't staging a file stage in the plugin also stage it in the git index so that the plugin interacts with other git tools correctly? Right now it seems like Godot has its own invisible notion of what is staged and what isn't, that is unrelated to the git index status.

Dear gents ,
thank you for you good work on this plugin and I hope you accept my humble suggestion:

I think it will help many beginners and (NOOBs :D) to add :
"Installing git from www.git-scm.com to your computer and configure user name and email"
as one of the prerequisites to install this plugin , as it may seems obovious (just now for me ^^")
I think it will make the wiki beginner-friendly and who won't want that ? 😄

Regards , Aziz.

I tried to activate plugin in my old project, but after initialization Godot crashes.
I noticed that the plugin created the folder .git in my project folder. But after reinitialization godot crashes with this error

Godot 3.2 - stable, windows 10

In the installation wiki there is an instruction that says to download the latest release. When I go to that link it shows 5 assets of the latest release. Which should I download?

Git API: Could not get status information from repository [-8] - cannot status. This operation is not allowed against bare repositories.. 

This is a regression because this error msg only occurs in cases when the project folder already has a .git folder. This does not happen in v1.2 afaik.

Godot version:

3.2.3, 3.2.3 mono

Plugin version:
1.2-x11

OS/device including version:

Ubuntu 20.04

Issue description:

Attempts to export to Windows result in "export template appears to be missing" error. Exports to Linux/X11, HTML5 and Max OSX all succeed. Problem only happens when the Git plugin has been added to the project.

Steps to reproduce:
In a project with the git plugin installed and "Windows Desktop" configured in export_presets.cfg:
godot --export "Windows Desktop" demo.exe

ERROR: copy: Failed to open res://bin/win64/release/libgitapi.dll
   At: core/os/dir_access.cpp:298.
ERROR: _fs_changed: Project export failed for preset 'Windows Desktop', the export template appears to be missing.
   At: editor/editor_node.cpp:753.

Minimal reproduction project:

Unable to: git plugin causes project to exceed 10MB limit.

Also reported against godot as godotengine/godot#44213

Is it possible to add branching or is this a limit of the Godot git API?

How much are you able to control the git UI in Godot?

I wish to use the git implementation on my main server for my godot projects. Where are the files being stored now? Where do I change the configuration to use my own local server?

Hi,

I have followed the wiki for the installation:

I have the "godot-git-plugin-v1.2-x11" folder inside my root project folder:

The GDNative plugin is detected inside godot:

But when I go to Project -> Version Control -> Set up version control, I have this:

I'm on Linux (Ubuntu Budgie 19.10). I have tried to switch Godot to english but same error. I have also tried with a project already versioned with git, but still the same popup.

Hi, loving the plugin so far! It's really convenient, but I don't see the ability to push changes to remote? Is it planned / in the works maybe? I'd be happy to help.

Hi,

when I press the Project->Version Control->Set up version control->Initialize button, a git repo is created but after this godot closes and doesn't automatically restart. I don't see any "commit" tab in my editor like the one who is described in the blog post update 3 for GSoC. I use Godot in version v3.2.stable.mono.official.
What do you need to check this problem?

Regards,
Rinma

Mac OS version: 10.15.7 Catalina
Godot version: v3.2.4.rc3
git version 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128)
godot-git-plugin-v1.2.1-osx

Extracted the zip then put the contents in same directory with project.godot, and it still says "No VCS addons are available." when pressed "Set Up Version Control" from project tab.

Note: I duplicated -libgitapi.dylib- file from ~bin/osx/release directory to project.godot directory, but still no luck.

Dose anyone get VCS done on mac successfully?

I built this plugin using the instructions in the README:

Linux

1. Prepare script for execution: chmod 755 build_libs.sh
2. Run . ./build_libs.sh Release.
3. Run scons platform=x11 target=release.

While on step 2, I noticed this message:

[100%] Built target git2
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Looking at the code, it seems that this is caused by apt-get install scons. This script certainly needs improvement, it should not try to install scons if it is already installed, and if scons does need to be installed then it's better to ask for root access or inform the user rather than try to run apt-get without root. Anyway, this isn't the cause of the main problem in this issue, since on my system scons is already installed.

After building, when opening the demo, this is printed to the console:

 Can't open dynamic library: /home/aaronfranke/workspace/godot-git-plugin/demo/bin/x11/release/libgitapi.so. Error: /home/aaronfranke/workspace/godot-git-plugin/demo/bin/x11/release/libgitapi.so: undefined symbol: SSL_CTX_free

 modules/gdnative/nativescript/nativescript.cpp:1506 - No nativescript_init in "res://bin/x11/release/libgitapi.so" found

When trying to run the project (by pressing F5 or the play button), this error is printed in the debugger:

E 0:00:00.674   open_dynamic_library: Can't open dynamic library: /home/aaronfranke/workspace/godot-git-plugin/demo/bin/x11/release/libgitapi.so. Error: /home/aaronfranke/workspace/godot-git-plugin/demo/bin/x11/release/libgitapi.so: undefined symbol: SSL_CTX_free
  <C++ Error>   Condition "!p_library_handle" is true. Returned: ERR_CANT_OPEN
  <C++ Source>  drivers/unix/os_unix.cpp:424 @ open_dynamic_library()

This problem only happens when building, the 1.2 release build here works fine: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-git-plugin/releases

I'm using Godot 3.2.2 stable on Mint 20 (Ubuntu 20.04). I tested the master branch of this repo, the v1.2 tag, and the libgit2-bump-fix branch, all fail in the same way.

Hi everyone, I tried to install the plugin but keeps on crashing when I press the Initialize Button. I'm on Fedora 32 KDE.

Here's the console error:

Refer: #58 (comment)

I like to keep my commits small and focused to just one specific feature I'm working on, if I can. It makes it easier to revert specific things without undoing a bunch of work that I want to keep.

But sometimes I forget to commit after finishing one task and start working on another thing and then another, etc. So when I finally take a break to commit, I have to selectively choose only the files that belong to the specific feature I want to commit.

Right now it's really a really annoying process! I have to manually unselect 50 files, stage and commit 3 files, then manually unselect 47 files, stage and commit 1 file, manually unselect 46 files, stage and commit 5 files, etc.

We really need a button to that will toggle between all files selected and unselected in the list. I imagine this button would fit nicely at the top of the list somewhere. Perhaps right next to the Refresh button.

Either that, or default everything in the list to unselected upon refreshing. After all, if you want to commit everything, there's already a handy "Stage All" button right there in the UI.

I encountered the following error when trying to use the plugin with GodotEngine X11 v3.2-stable on ArchLinux (Linux Kernel v5.4.15):

E 0:00:00.462 open_dynamic_library: Can't open dynamic library: /home/[username]/Documents/Git/[project_folder]/bin/x11/libgitapi.so. Error: /home/[username]/Documents/Git/[project_folder]/bin/x11/libgitapi.so: undefined symbol: deflateInit_
<C++ Error> Condition "!p_library_handle" is true. Returned: ERR_CANT_OPEN
<C++ Source> drivers/unix/os_unix.cpp:424 @ open_dynamic_library()

The x11 builds are currently huge (in comparison to the other builds). Stripping the .so makes it much smaller (around 4 MB instead of 70).

I think it makes sense to check in this plugin into source control to minimize setup pain for team members. I renamed the bin folder .lib so it doesn't show up in godot's FileSystem viewer (I want to keep that as clean as possible), and it was ignored by default.

I had to change my gitignore to this:

# Import cache
.import

# Exported Binaries
.export

# Don't ignore .lib folder
!.lib

Even then the plugin didn't pick up on .lib directory, I had to use a git gui to check that in.

This is to make the CI not use the 3.2 headers, but to actually use the custom api, whatever version we have been testing the plugin with.

Suggestion: once git plugin is open, auto-open it every time godot editor starts, until the user intentionally disables it.
This will save repetitive actions for the user every time a restart/crash happens - exactly what scripts are good at.

I don't understand this, Why don't any of these plugins include git pull functionality for people who aren't git savvy?

When staging directories, stage the directory instead of directory/. Otherwise the directory wouldn't be staged.

As the Godot documentation suggests, https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/plugins/editor/installing_plugins.html, Plugins go into res://addons/plugin_name.
but the installation instructions instruct we put the contents alongside the project.godot file and won't work otherwise.

Why doesn't this project follow the convention?
Imo, the root project folder would get cluttered if plugins were to reside there, and its not good for project hierarchy organization.

I did as the wiki explained ... or at least tried. The wiki installation says to unzip with content of the zip file to the godot root project folder.

I assume this is meant to be where the godot binary is located? There is no mention of "root project folder" anywhere in the godot documentation.

After quitting my project to the godot project manager and re-opening my project, I tried to set up source control and received error: "No VCS addons are available."

Found an issue similar to the "Plug-Ins Not Found" issue with my new M1 MacBook

Providing the screen shot below

On RandomSharper's advice for using setlocal and call syntax for build scripts so that scripts return properly and the need for intermediate cd .. commands is removed

Adding Git support to my new project, the plugin complains about a missing VCRUNTIME140_1D.dll. This specific one is NOT part of the MS Visual C redistributable setup, only the non-debug (aka release) versions of the runtime libraries are installed with the setup (and I don't want to install Visual Studio 2019 just to get the Debug runtimes).

Somehow you forgot to switch the plugin into Release status for the v1.0 release.

I've been using this plugin along with git-lfs (large file storage) on my current project, and I've just discovered that they don't seem to be behaving together properly. If I commit a file that should be tracked with LFS using the plugin, it doesn't actually get handled by LFS, it's just treated as a regular file. The problem isn't apparent until either a push (where I notice that I don't see any Uploading LFS objects line) or a checkout, where I get an error like this:

Encountered 7 file(s) that should have been pointers, but weren't:

LFS works fine if I just handle my commits and pushes from git-bash instead of using the plugin.

Is support for LFS coming at some point? Or am I perhaps doing something wrong?

I get the following with the v1.1 release on Windows 10 x64, Godot 3.2 stable

ERROR: Can't open dynamic library: D:/path/to/project/bin/win64/libgitapi.dll, error: Error 126: The specified module could not be found.
.
   At: platform/windows/os_windows.cpp:2269

The file is indeed at the path printed. Is there some dependency that I might be missing? (If so this should be documented.)

godotengine/godot#33734

get_is_vcs_initialized is to be renamed to is_vcs_initialized and a few typos were fixed with the word intialized

Does the plugin need to create the initial commit?

Wouldn't this be better to perform the 'git init' then allow the developer to add files for the initial commit?

I often amend exisitng commits. This would be nice-to-have.

It seems like this doesn't work on macOS, although it would be cool...

Refer #10

I installed the plug-in, per the instructions, and verified that all files are in their proper location (see attached), but I'm still getting an error message that No VCS addons are available.

And I'm receiving the following error messages:

All the files it says it can't find are present in the project folder or the ../bin/win64/release folder inside the project folder.

If you need any more information, let me know. Thanks.

Are there any plans to add some documentation to the official docs?

1. Start Godot 3.2.1
2. Hit Editor > Toggle System Console if not done so already
3. Try to initialize GitAPI
4. Godot crashes

Edit: Hm, now I can't reconstruct it anymore. Now Godot ALWAYS crashes when trying to initialize GitAPI. Sadly nothing is printed to the console.

FYI there's currently a Reddit thread "VCS integration in 3.2" where someone is having trouble getting started with this plugin. You may wish to provide assistance. :)

Also, in the replies someone mentions "Check if the library is enabled in the project settings" which seems to be a step missing from the existing installation instructions?
