mutex64 a6f065380b Repository installation script (#1 ) Created the installation script for PtM repo. What does it do: - Detects the installation directory of BG3 (checks common Steam folders on each drive) - Helps user to remove existing repository and files (with big warning) if the repository is already present in BG3 directory - Initializes git repository with `core.autocrlf false` and `core.longpaths true` - Fetches the current development branch Installation safeguard: script uses temporary file `.ptm_install_in_progress` to distinguish between the actual git repo or the interrupted install. If we remove the validation and directory lookup, all that this script does in BG3 directory is: ``` git init git config core.autocrlf false git config core.longpaths true git remote add origin <repo_url> git fetch origin development git checkout -b development --track origin/development ``` That should cover the installation with default git params with the bonus of avoiding manual file operations. ## How we can use it after merge I expect that we can just attach a link to the `game-repo-installation` directory somewhere in the onboarding section and ask to download and run `install-ptm.bat` script. ## Further possible improvements - Incorporate paths to remove PtM skillcheck as well as actual PtM directories - Option to just remove the current PtM repository without installation, so it would act both as install and uninstall script Reviewed-on: ptm-admin/ptm-tools#1 Co-authored-by: mutex64 <mutex64@gmail.com> Co-committed-by: mutex64 <mutex64@gmail.com>	2026-04-30 21:48:03 +00:00

mutex64 a6f065380b Repository installation script (#1 )

Created the installation script for PtM repo.

What does it do:

- Detects the installation directory of BG3 (checks common Steam folders on each drive)
- Helps user to remove existing repository and files (with big warning) if the repository is already present in BG3 directory
- Initializes git repository with `core.autocrlf false` and `core.longpaths true`
- Fetches the current development branch

Installation safeguard: script uses temporary file `.ptm_install_in_progress` to distinguish between the actual git repo or the interrupted install.

If we remove the validation and directory lookup, all that this script does in BG3 directory is:

```
git init
git config core.autocrlf false
git config core.longpaths true
git remote add origin <repo_url>
git fetch origin development
git checkout -b development --track origin/development
```

That should cover the installation with default git params with the bonus of avoiding manual file operations.

## How we can use it after merge

I expect that we can just attach a link to the `game-repo-installation` directory somewhere in the onboarding section and ask to download and run `install-ptm.bat` script.

## Further possible improvements
- Incorporate paths to remove PtM skillcheck as well as actual PtM directories
- Option to just remove the current PtM repository without installation, so it would act both as install and uninstall script
