# NAME

App-gimpgitbuild - build GIMP from git

# VERSION

version 0.30.1

# SYNOPSIS

    gimpgitbuild build

# DESCRIPTION

gimpgitbuild is a command line utility to automatically build
[GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) (= the "GNU Image Manipulation Program")
and some of its dependencies from its version control git repositories:
[https://developer.gimp.org/git.html](https://developer.gimp.org/git.html) .

Use it only if your paths and environment does not contain too many
nasty characters because we interpolate strings into the shell a lot.

So far, it is quite opinionated, but hopefully we'll allow for better
customization using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment\_variable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable)
in the future.

## HISTORY

This utility evolved from an [old bash version](https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/blob/db468a5d6190bce053af1621b30e7dfd673be43f/shlomif-settings/build-scripts/build/gimp-git-all-deps.bash)
and a [rewrite in perl 5](https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/blob/master/shlomif-settings/build-scripts/build/gimp-git-all-deps.pl) .
