A desktop launch inherits a `PATH` that holds none of the user's own
install locations, so `Command::new("git")` finds nothing usable, or on
macOS finds Apple's shim and only prompts to install the developer
tools.
Resolve git to an absolute path instead, searching `PATH` first and the
usual install locations after, and cache the result for the process.
`rad` is looked for the same way, which also fixes the CLI check for a
Homebrew or Nix install.
Radicle Desktop
This desktop application lets you interact with Radicle, a peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack.
Installation
See radicle.dev/desktop#install.
From source
Prerequisites:
- Node.js (24 or higher) and npm
- Rust toolchain (1.77 or higher)
- Tauri system dependencies
On Windows, NPM's script shell must be set to a POSIX compatible shell such as Git Bash:
npm config set script-shell "C:\\Program Files\\git\\bin\\bash.exe"
Run the following commands to build the desktop app locally:
git clone https://seed.radicle.dev/z4D5UCArafTzTQpDZNQRuqswh3ury.git radicle-desktop
cd radicle-desktop
npm install
npm run tauri build
Then run one of the builds that the script outputs at the end.
Development
To start the app in development mode with hot reload:
npm run dev
Releasing
Releases are driven by an interactive, phased script. Start one with:
scripts/release --phase prep --version X.Y.Z
Each phase does its mechanical work, then prints the manual tasks for its gate
and the exact flag to resume with. List the phases and see the configuration
with scripts/release --list and scripts/release --help.
