#clone this repository
> git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/OneGet/oneget.git

# go to the project folder
> cd oneget

# optional: switch to the wip branch
> git checkout wip

# get the submodules for this branch
> git submodule update --init

# BUILD using Visual Studio, or from the command line:

> msbuild PackageManagement.sln /p:Configuration=Release "/p:Platform=Any CPU"
    
# If you want to send me changes, you should fork the project into your own 
# account first, and use that URL to clone it.
# If you fork it later you can just change the origin by:

# move the old origin out of the way. You could delete it if you want.
> git remote rename origin original

# add your repo url as the origin:
# e.g. [email protected]:fearthecowboy/OneGet.git 
> git remote add origin <your-repo-url> 

# run test
build the packagemanagment.sln
copy the files generated from the build to x:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PackageManagement
You may need to update the PowerShellGet files that are in the inbox folder.
cd to the test folder
.\run-test.ps1

OneGet is under rapid development, and so you get to see just how the sausage is being made. I try to keep the master branch clean and buildable, but my own working branch can get pretty damn wild and I make no bones about some of this. I work fast, I make big changes, and I try to keep my eye on the target.

Feel free to clone the repository, and check out the different branches:

There are currently three branches in the git repository:

Contributions to the OneGet project will require the signing of a CLA -- contact @fearthecowboy for details...

In the immediate time frame, we won't be taking pull requests to the core itself, as we still have many masters at Microsoft to keep happy, and I have a lot of release process stuff I have to go thru to make them happy.

There are some exceptions to the where I can take Pull Requests immediately:

Pull Requests to the not-in-core Package Providers (Chocolatey, NuGet, etc) are instantly welcome

Any unit tests, BVT tests or -Edge only features, we can take pull requests for as well

Docs, Wiki, content, designs, bugs -- everything gleefully accepted :D

I'm eager to work with anyone who wants to help shape the future of Package Management on Windows -- your opinions, feedback and code can help everyone.

We have an online monthly meeting at the beginning of each month on Tuesday from 10am - 11am (PST). Each month may have slight shift of either the first week or the second week. We will twitter the exact time as well as put a note on GitHub site. (everyone welcome!)

You can see archives of the previous meetings available on YouTube

OneGet is a unified interface to package management systems and aims to make Software Discovery, Installation and Inventory (SDII) work via a common set of cmdlets (and eventually a set of APIs). Regardless of the installation technology underneath, users can use these common cmdlets to install/uninstall packages, add/remove/query package repositories, and query a system for the software installed. Included in this CTP is a prototype implementation of a Chocolatey-compatible package manager that can install existing Chocolatey packages.

With OneGet, you can

• Manage a list of software repositories in which packages can be searched, acquired, and installed
• Search and filter your repositories to find the packages you need
• Seamlessly install and uninstall packages from one or more repositories with a single PowerShell command

We'll also be publishing standalone builds, once the source code is published.
