Repository Build & Test Instructions

Build Procedures

Required dependencies: A C compiler (either clang or gcc) and a Go compiler. The Go compiler should be at least the version mentioned in the go.mod file. On Linux, the X11 development libraries are also needed.
Bootstrap: Always run ./dev.sh deps to download all needed dependencies
Build command: Run ./dev.sh build to build the project
Run gen/config.py to update generated config parsing code for both kitty and kitten. The gen/go_code.py generator is run automatically by the build command to keep generated Go code files up to date.
To build individual kittens use the build command above do not try to run go build yourself.

To run the complete test suite, run ./test.py
To run a specific test, run ./test.py test-name t test-name is the name of the test without the leading test_ for Python tests and without the leading Test for Go tests.
