Delphi documentation: GetIt Local files – Google Docs

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/03/11

This [Wayback/Archive] GetIt Local files – Google Docs is so much better than the [WayBack/Archive] DocWiki documentation for at least these reasons:

  • it is one coherent document
  • it is complete and does not cut away parts of the source code examples (especially the JSON in the DocWiki is bad)

I wish it had been a Markdown or reStructuredText document as that is far more version control friendly.

Hopefully it will stay on-line longer than [Archive] drive.google.com/file/d/1Pt0YOMfS1eJK7e-NyLrZ5dNOj6UlqN1U/view| or the DocWiki documentation of prior Delphi versions. For more on that, read this blog post: The Delphi documentation site docwiki.embarcadero.com has been down/up oscillating for 4 days is now down for almost a day..

If you are curious to the DocWiki documentation on the GetIt Local files, then read these:

Via [Wayback/Archive] MarcoCantu on Twitter: “#Delphi #RADStudio #CppBuilder The GetIt Local Files documentation is now (finally) on RAD Studio docwiki: …”.

And no: GetIt still is not exposing all features to the command-line as per

  1. [Wayback/Archive] MarcoCantu on Twitter: “No, only via the GetIt dialog UI.” / Twitter

    [Wayback/Archive] Glenn Dufke on Twitter: “@marcocantu @JimMcKeeth Awesome stuff Now I can finally publish the sample code I have laying around which makes it easier to generate the required JSON. 🙂 Is it also possible to install the local packages through the getitcmd command line application?”

  2. [Wayback/Archive] Glenn Dufke on Twitter: “@marcocantu Thank you 🙂 So no scripted automation yet. Sounds like a meta package would be the way to go for now.”
