Installation

Getting started with Hug SCM is straightforward.

It's designed to be installed directly from its Github repository, and doesn't require root privileges.

Prerequisites

• Git: Hug requires an underlying SCM tool. Currently, it only works with Git, so you must have Git installed and available in your PATH.
• Bash shell

Installation Steps

1. Clone the Repository

   First, clone the Hug SCM repository to a permanent location on your local machine. A common choice is your home directory.

   cd $HOME # or any other directory
   git clone https://github.com/elifarley/hug-scm.git

2. Run the Installer

   $HOME/hug-scm/install.sh

hug will be available for any future terminal sessions you open.

3. Activate Hug

   For the hug command to be immediately available in your current terminal session, you need to activate it. Just follow the installer instructions to do so.

   Alternatively, you can simply open a new terminal window.

4. Verify the Installation

   You're all set! To confirm that Hug is installed correctly, run the status command.
