===

You can use git repositories url as a package dependencies! :+1:

## Description
In Unity 2018.3, [the Unity Package Manager (UPM) supported Git](https://forum.unity.com/threads/git-support-on-package-manager.573673/). :)
This update allows us to quickly install packages on code hosting services such as GitHub.
However, UPM does not support git-based dependencies in the package. :(
```
[ package-a/package.json ]
{
"name": "com.coffee.package-a",
"version": "0.1.0",
"dependencies": {
"com.coffee.core-a" : "https://github.com/mob-sakai/GitPackageTest#core-a-0.1.0"
}
}
```
When the above package is installed, the following error occur.
**Git-based dependencies in packages** feature is on the roadmap for 2020, [but no specific ETA](https://forum.unity.com/threads/custom-package-with-git-dependencies.628390/#post-5367033).
This plugin resolves git-based dependencies in the package.
You can use git repositories url as a package dependencies! :+1:
### Features
* Easy to use: just install
* Resolve git-based dependencies in packages
* Automatically uninstall unused packages that is installed by this plugin
* Support GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, etc.
* Support private repository
* Support Unity 2018.3 or later
* Support .Net 3.5 and 4.x
* Update package with a specific tag/branch/hash
* Deterministic package installation
* Support CI environment
* Support [path query parameter (sub-directory)](https://forum.unity.com/threads/some-feedback-on-package-manager-git-support.743345/) even Unity 2019.2 or earlier
* path must be a relative path to the root of the repository.
* path query parameter **must** be placed **before** the revision anchor. The reverse order will fail.
* A package manifest (package.json) is expected in the specified path.
* e.g. With Path query parameter: `https://github.com/user/repo.git?path=/example/folder`
* e.g. With revision anchor and path query parameter: `https://github.com/user/repo.git?path=/example/folder#v1.2.3`
### Notes
From: https://forum.unity.com/threads/git-support-on-package-manager.573673/page-3#post-4552084
> There is no conflict detection and/or resolution algorithm.
> The lastest package found with the same name is used.
> This is not how the package manager resolve dependency (See https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-conflicts-auto.html).
In Unity's algorithm, package conflicts are resolved by "dependency-level from root".
The all packages resolved by this plugin are "dependency-level=1".
Therefore, in some cases, the package of the intended version may not be installed.
For example, in the case of a project with a dependency graph like this:
```
project (root)
├ package A: 1.0.0
│ └ package X: 2.0.0
└ package B: 1.0.0
└ package C: 2.0.0
└ package X: 2.0.1
```
**This plugin's algorithm**
Install -> A: 1.0.0, B: 1.0.0, C: 2.0.0, X: **2.0.1**
**Unity's algorithm**
Install -> A: 1.0.0, B: 1.0.0, C: 2.0.0, X: **2.0.0**
## Installation
### Requirement
* Unity 2018.3 or later
### Using OpenUPM
This package is available on [OpenUPM](https://openupm.com).
You can install it via [openupm-cli](https://github.com/openupm/openupm-cli).
```
openupm add com.coffee.git-dependency-resolver
```
### Using Git
Find the `manifest.json` file in the `Packages` directory in your project and edit it as follows:
```
{
"dependencies": {
"com.coffee.git-dependency-resolver": "https://github.com/mob-sakai/GitDependencyResolverForUnity.git",
...
},
}
```
To update the package, change suffix `#{version}` to the target version.
* e.g. `"com.coffee.git-dependency-resolver": "https://github.com/mob-sakai/GitDependencyResolverForUnity.git#1.2.0",`
Or, use [UpmGitExtension](https://github.com/mob-sakai/UpmGitExtension) to install and update the package.
## Usage
### For package user
* Install this plugin.
* See [installation section](#installation).
* If the dependencies are not resolved successfully, reopen the project. If that does not work, try the following:
1. Close the project.
2. Delete `Library/ScriptAssemblies` directory in the project.
3. Open the project.
* When `Unity Package Manager Error` window is opens, click `Continue`.
* Add `Packages/.*` to `.gitignore` to hide auto-installed package.
### For package developer
* Find the `package.json` file in your package and edit it as follows:
```
{
...
"gitDependencies": {
"your.package": "https://github.com/yourname/yourpackage.git#v1.2.3",
...
}
}
```
* You can use [path query parameter (sub-directory)](https://forum.unity.com/threads/some-feedback-on-package-manager-git-support.743345/) even Unity 2019.2 or earlier.
* e.g. `"your.package": "https://github.com/yourname/yourpackage.git?path=/pkg/dir#v1.2.3"`
* path must be a relative path to the root of the repository.
* path query parameter **must** be placed **before** the revision anchor. The reverse order will fail.
* A package manifest (package.json) is expected in the specified path.
* You **must** use `gitDependencies` instead of `dependencies` to define git-based dependencies for the package.
* This plugin also supports `dependencies` to resolve git-based dependencies, but if `dependencies` include packages that UPM can't resolve, it will fail to start Unity in CI environment.
* You **must** announce to your package users that they must install `com.coffee.git-dependency-resolver`.
* See [installation section](#installation).
* It is recommended to use [SemVer](https://semver.org/) as a tag or branch name.
* e.g. `1.0.0`, `0.5.0-preview10`, `0.1.0-alpha+daily5`
