Installing Extensions from Git

It’s now possible to install Spree extensions from Github (or any other git repository.) To install an extension from git simply type:

script/extension install git://path-to-extension.git

There are a few other details (like the ability to force a new install, etc.). Use the --help option for details. Keep in mind that if you have a Spree app that is already deployed you won’t be able to use this until you update your local gem and/or refreeze you vendor/spree directory.

You will recall that you can build the gem locally (using the latest git source of course) using

rake spree:gem:install

Now, let’s get to work and start writing those extensions!
