You can create a shell script to allow users to specify a custom installation directory for Git LFS and provide options for both installing and uninstalling Git LFS. Here's a sample shell script that accomplishes this [1]:
```shell
#!/bin/bash
# Function to install Git LFS in the specified directory
install_git_lfs() {
local install_dir="$1"
if [ -z "$install_dir" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 install <install_directory>"
exit 1
fi
# Check if Git LFS is already installed in the specified directory
if [ -x "$install_dir/git-lfs" ]; then
echo "Git LFS is already installed in $install_dir."
exit 1
fi
# Download and install Git LFS
echo "Installing Git LFS in $install_dir..."
mkdir -p "$install_dir"
cd "$install_dir" || exit
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/github/git-lfs/script.deb.sh | bash
apt-get install git-lfs
echo "Git LFS has been installed in $install_dir."
}
# Function to uninstall Git LFS from the specified directory
uninstall_git_lfs() {
local install_dir="$1"
if [ -z "$install_dir" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 uninstall <install_directory>"
exit 1
fi
# Check if Git LFS is installed in the specified directory
if [ -x "$install_dir/git-lfs" ]; then
echo "Uninstalling Git LFS from $install_dir..."
cd "$install_dir" || exit
git lfs uninstall
rm "$install_dir/git-lfs"
echo "Git LFS has been uninstalled from $install_dir."
else
echo "Git LFS is not installed in $install_dir."
fi
}
# Main script
if [ "$1" = "install" ]; then
install_git_lfs "$2"
elif [ "$1" = "uninstall" ]; then
uninstall_git_lfs "$2"
else
echo "Usage: $0 [install|uninstall] <install_directory>"
exit 1
fi
```
Save this script to a file (e.g., git-lfs-installer.sh) and make it executable with the following command:
```
chmod +x git-lfs-installer.sh
```
Usage:
To install Git LFS to a custom directory:
```
./git-lfs-installer.sh install /path/to/install/directory
```
To uninstall Git LFS from a custom directory:
```
./git-lfs-installer.sh uninstall /path/to/install/directory
```
The script uses the curl command to download and install Git LFS from the official GitHub repository. You can customize it further to suit your specific needs or adapt it for different package managers if needed.
