How to install Drift on OpenBSD

Drift is a command-line tool that allows you to track and manage changes to your files over time. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Drift on OpenBSD.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before you can install Drift, you need to install a few dependencies. These can be installed using the OpenBSD package manager, 'pkg_add'.

sudo pkg_add git

Step 2: Download Drift

You can download the Drift source code by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/MaxLeiter/drift.git

This will download the Drift source code from the official GitHub repository.

Step 3: Build and Install Drift

Navigate to the Drift directory that was just cloned in step 2.

cd drift

Now, you need to build and install Drift. You can do this with the following command:

This command will build the Drift binary, and then install it to the system. Once installed, you can use Drift by typing the following command into your terminal:
