GitPrep now need Perl 5.10.1+(Before version need Perl 5.8.7). Latest GitPrep use latest Mojolicious, so the security risk having old Mojolicious is solved.

Don't support cygwin now. You can use GitPrep on cygwin, but I don't check if GitPrep work well on cygwin.

Upgrading from GitPrep 1.0

If you use Perl 5.8, you need to install newer perl by using perlbrew.

    echo "source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc" >> ~/.bash_profile
    source ~/.bash_profile

    perlbrew install perl-5.16.3

Please talk about GitPrep

GitPrep is open source project. If you use GitPrep, please inform your friends, community, team of company about GitPrep. If the people who want to use GitHub feature on own server and install it easily, inform the people about GitPrep.

I'm Japanese. I'm personal. I don't have patrons. I don't have the big company support. I don't have the power of advertisement. But I believe good Perl project contributes to Perl itself.

For open source author, it is pleasure that created project is used by many people. I am planning to add issue and wiki system to GitPrep. Please add start GitHub if you like GitPrep.
