install git on Synology NAS ?

[bhepler]

@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?

@bhepler

neither apt, nor ipkg or else…
so i tried before !..

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:

1. Install the SynoCommunity package source
2. Install ‘git’ using the package manager
3. 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.
