=======
|
|
The following is a quickstart guide for developing `cheat`.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Install system dependencies
|
|
Before you begin, you must install a handful of system dependencies. The
|
|
following are required, and must be available on your `PATH`:
|
|
|
|
- `git`
|
|
- `go` (>= 1.17 is recommended)
|
|
- `make`
|
|
|
|
The following dependencies are optional:
|
|
- `docker`
|
|
- `pandoc` (necessary to generate a `man` page)
|
|
|
|
## 2. Install utility applications
|
|
Run `make setup` to install `scc` and `revive`, which are used by various
|
|
`make` targets.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Development workflow
|
|
After your environment has been configured, your development workflow will
|
|
resemble the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Make changes to the `cheat` source code.
|
|
2. Run `make test` to run unit-tests.
|
|
3. Fix compiler errors and failing tests as necessary.
|
|
4. Run `make`. A `cheat` executable will be written to the `dist` directory.
|
|
5. Use the new executable by running `dist/cheat <command>`.
|
|
6. Run `make install` to install `cheat` to your `PATH`.
|
|
7. Run `make build-release` to build cross-platform binaries in `dist`.
|
|
8. Run `make clean` to clean the `dist` directory when desired.
|
|
|
|
You may run `make help` to see a list of available `make` commands.
|
|
|
|
### Developing with docker
|
|
It may be useful to test your changes within a pristine environment. An
|
|
Alpine-based docker container has been provided for that purpose.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to build the docker container, run:
|
|
```sh
|
|
make docker-setup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To shell into the container, run:
|
|
```sh
|
|
make docker-sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `cheat` source code will be mounted at `/app` within the container.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to destroy this container, you may run:
|
|
```sh
|
|
make distclean
|
|
```
