Ask HN: How to set up get-shit-done app?

#1

Post by hella » Fri, May 06, 2011, 5:58 AM UTC

I'm a designer, and not too familiar with the command line.

I'd like to setup the get-shit-done (https://github.com/leftnode/get-shit-done) program on my mac. But I don't know what this means: "After cloning this repository, put it in your $PATH and ensure it is executable."

I'd be grateful if one of you could outline the steps...

Put it in your home folder (~/[your name]), and then go to Terminal.app, type "chmod a+rx [file name]" without quotes, and then type "./[file name]". Fill in whatever you call the main file.

Cool. It works. The only thing is, when I type "sudo ./get-shit-done work" I get this error: sh: /etc/init.d/networking: No such file or directory

Why? Solution?

I believe it should work nonetheless.

To help you I've rewritten it and you should be able to use it on Mac.

Happy working! Do not hesitate to ask me if something goes wrong.
