Prerequisites

We use a submodule for test vectors that make sure we follow the appropriate spec. Running tests will fail without it. To set up the submodule, clone using:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:TBD54566975/web5-go.git

If you've already cloned, add submodules:

git submodule update --init

`hermit`

This repo uses hermit to manage all environment dependencies (e.g. just, go).

[!IMPORTANT] run . ./bin/activate-hermit everytime you enter this directory if you don't have hermit shell hooks configured

Git hooks

Before contributing, set up the pre-commit hook by running:

cp .githooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit
