SmartGit is a simple bash script that I had to run from the command line. This time I decided I wanted a program launcher from my applications menu and my 'favourites bar' (or whatever that thing on the left hand side of the desktop is called!)
So first I moved the smartgit folder from ~/Downloads/ to /usr/local/ and made the .sh script executable
Then to create a launcher I made a new .desktop file:
and added the following:
Of course the 'Icon' can be anything you like - I chose the one which comes with the program out of sheer non-inventiveness! In Applications it will appear under All and Accessories. Right click and 'Add to Favourites' and it will appear on your side bar.
