This version includes the Scalar CLI!

In this version, we have completed porting all Scalar features into the microsoft/git fork, and many of the features are also in the core git/git project:

  1. Background maintenance is in git/git.
  2. FS Monitor is in microsoft/git and git-for-windows/git with a git/git version under review.
  3. The GVFS Protocol (i.e. partial clone for Azure Repos) is built into microsoft/git via the git-gvfs-helper executable.
  4. The Scalar CLI for creating and managing enlistments is now in microsoft/git.

The Scalar CLI documentation is available in this repository, and closely matches the functionality documented in microsoft/scalar.

Users should not notice any behavior differences between Scalar.NET and this new version, since this does not affect your day-to-day use of Git commands. Any issues are likely to happen in commands such as scalar clone or scalar register or during the installation itself.

Instructions for Windows Users

The Windows installer will uninstall Scalar.NET, if it exists, and update existing enlistments to be registered with this new version. If in doubt, run scalar list before and after upgrading to ensure the list is correct. If any enlistments are missing, then run scalar register . in the working directory of an enlistment you want registered.

Instructions for macOS Users

The macOS installer will not uninstall the existing Scalar.NET installation. Before installing this version, it might be prudent to run

/usr/local/bin/uninstall_scalar.sh

If you had Scalar.NET installed via HomeBrew, then you can use this command:

brew uninstall --cask scalar-azrepos

After running the macOS installer, you will need to run scalar register . in your existing enlistments to ensure they are tracked by background maintenance and other changes in future versions.

Instructions for Linux Users

The Linux installer will not uninstall the existing Scalar.NET installation, but it will replace the location of the scalar executable on the PATH. There is no established uninstall mechanism, but Scalar.NET can be removed via sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/scalar/.

After running the Linux installer (or compiling and installing from source), you will need to run scalar register . in your existing enlistments to ensure they are tracked by background maintenance and other changes in future versions.
