Gitinfo Lua

A LaTeX package which provides macros integrated with LuaTeX and the commandline tool git.

Installation

The recommended way of installing is using tlmgr install gitinfo-lua. If you can't update/install packages with tlmgr, you can download the latest gitinfo-lua-<version>.tds.tar.gz from the releases page and then unpack it in your TEXMFHOME. To find out where your TEXMFHOME is, you can consult kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME on the commandline.

Documentation

A prerequisite is that you have the texmf-packaging available in your TEXMFHOME. The documentation can be built using make build clean or manually using lualatex:

# Using the original TEXMFHOME and the project directory
CNF_LINE="TEXMFHOME={$(pwd),$(kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME)}"
cd doc
lualatex --lua=gitinfo-lua-init.lua --cnf-line $CNF_LINE gitinfo-lua
makeindex -s gind.ist gitinfo-lua.idx
lualatex --lua=gitinfo-lua-init.lua --cnf-line $CNF_LINE gitinfo-lua

To do the same as the Lua initialization script, commandline option --shell-restricted should be passed and git should be added to shell_escape_commands in your texmf.cnf. The texmf.cnf file to edit can be found with kpsewhich texmf.cnf.
