Using GitPLM on Windows

(the following was tested on Windows 10. Feel free to open a PR if you have better ideas or have tested on other versions.)

The GitPLM binaries are not signed, so some effort is required to get past all the Windows security checks. If someone would like to contribute a process to sign the binaries for Windows that is not too arduous, that would be appreciated.

  1. Download the appropriate Windows release. For most people, this will be the windows-x86_64. If you have a newer ARM based (such as the new Surface), you may need the windows-arm64 release.
  2. Extract the downloaded zip file
  3. Windows may complain about the program because it is from an Unknown publisher. It appears that programs written in Go are often flagged. If Windows pops up a Virus & threat protection dialog, click on the "Severe" text, and select "Allow on device", then "Start actions".
  4. Double click on the gitplm binary in Windows Explorer. Windows may show a Windows protected your PC dialog. Click on the "More info" link and select "Run Anyway". gitplm should now ask you to enter a directory containing partmaster csv files.
  5. cp the gitplm binary to the C:\bin directory.
  6. Add C:\bin to your system path (System properties->Environment variables)
  7. Now in powershell, you should be able to run gitplm.
