Build and run VGit

Start the native client from source or create a local macOS bundle.

Requirements

Rust 1.98 or later installed through rustup.
macOS with Xcode Command Line Tools.
An existing Git installation and normal credential helpers or SSH agent.

Run from source

git clone https://github.com/anupkumarreddy/vgit.git
cd vgit
cargo run --locked --manifest-path native/Cargo.toml

The first build compiles GPUI and its dependency graph and can take several minutes. runtime_shaders avoids requiring the offline Metal compiler from full Xcode.

Create a development bundle

./native/scripts/bundle-macos.sh
open 'out/VGit Preview.app'
