From 366607d5e2bc8a7e067105f1c0d0e6c2c235c131 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philip Taron Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 10:04:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] main: handle --version/--help before loading the Lua config main() loads the Lua configuration before parsing arguments, and the loader exits when no config file exists. That makes `pkgit --version` and `pkgit --help` fail on a fresh install. Answer those informational flags first so they work without a config. --- src/main.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/main.c b/src/main.c index 9010d3e..4c45b8a 100644 --- a/src/main.c +++ b/src/main.c @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ #include +#include #include "cla_parse.h" #include "lua_state.h" @@ -7,6 +8,18 @@ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { init_vars(); + + /* Respond to informational flags before loading the Lua config, which aborts + when no config file (~/.config/pkgit/init.lua) exists.
