System Dependencies

To use git2dart, you need to have the following system dependencies installed:

Linux

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libpcre3

macOS

brew install openssl

Windows

choco install openssl -y

Getting Started

1. Add package as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml
2. Import:

import 'package:git2dart/git2dart.dart';

3. Verify installation (should return string with version of libgit2 shipped with package):

...
print(Libgit2.version);
...

Note: The following steps only required if you are using package in Dart application (Flutter application will have libgit2 library bundled automatically when you build for release).

Development

Troubleshooting

Linux

If you are developing on Linux using non-Debian based distrib you might encounter these errors:

• Failed to load dynamic library: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
• Failed to load dynamic library: libpcreposix.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

That happens because dynamic library is precompiled on Ubuntu and Arch/Fedora/RedHat names for those libraries are libpcre.so and libpcreposix.so.

To fix these errors create symlinks:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libpcre.so /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.3
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libpcreposix.so /usr/lib64/libpcreposix.so.3
