install git on Synology NAS ?

@big11 - It’s basically a flavor of Unix, right? Does it include apt? Is there any reason why sudo apt-get install git doesn’t work?

After installing git server you can use git commands.

I’ve tested on
DS214play - DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 2

Maybe… or prety sure,
but
why to install a huge package if i do really Need just one part of it…
so the better way is how to get apt-get or ipkg getting on the synology…

thanks

@Big11 Here is the answer:

Install the SynoCommunity package source
Install ‘git’ using the package manager
Now you can use ‘git’ commands from the CLI while SSHed into the Synology.

How to install SynoCommunity:
A. This guide here: https://sys-advisor.com/en/2017/11/05/tuto-synology-comment-ajouter-le-depot-synocomunity-2/
B: Google “add synocommunity to synology” it if that link becomes unavailable.
