FSS

FSS is a tool that mirrors some of git's features.

It's mainly meant as training for me to understand the concepts behind git better and to learn C++. This is by no means clean code and it's also untested. It also doesn't support all git commands.

Compiling

Requirements

The following tools/libraries need to be installed:

• scons (https://scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-user/ch01s02.html)
• boost.program_options (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/doc/html/program_options.html) including the dev libraries, usually installed via apt install libboost-program-options-dev
• boost.filesystem (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_79_0/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm) including the dev libraries, usually installed via apt install libboost-filesystem-dev
• cryptopp (https://cryptopp.com/) including the dev libraries, usually installed via apt install libcrypto++-dev
• nlohmann json (https://github.com/nlohmann/json) including the dev libraries, usually installed via apt install nlohmann-json3-dev

Compilation

To compile, just run scons in the root directory of this repo

Usage

All commands listed here presume that the fss binary has been added to the PATH variable.

Initialisation

To initialise a fss repository, change into the directory you want under version control and run:

fss init

To add a file, be in a directory under fss version control and run:

fss add <filename>

Where <filename> is the name of the file you want to add.
