Any way of stopping Dugite from downloading Git?

[cab404]

Hello! I am one of numerous NixOS maintainers, and am currently packaging one of numerous Dugite users.
Is there a way to disable downloading of Dugite's binaries with an environment variable?
Such flags exist for Electron and Playwright

PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD=1
ELECTRON_SKIP_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD=1

That would be super nice to have

DUGITE_SKIP_BIN_DOWNLOAD=1

...since those binaries won't work on Nix anyway 😅

Hey, @cab404, sorry for the late response. As you've probably realized alreay there's no such flag. I don't see why we wouldn't review a PR to add one but I'm curious about this

...since those binaries won't work on Nix anyway 😅

Dugite does ship with linux-compatible binaries and should download the correct ones, are you seeing something else in your testing?

Those binaries are not statically linked, and that’s something NixOS doesn't work with out of the box — it provides it's own peculiar linking mechanics, so it should either be statically linked, linked in Nix, or patched)

Closing in favor of #182 which appears to be very similar to this.
