Developing Gitnuro
Installing libssh
Gitnuro depends on libssh being present as an external, native library (using JNA).
While the release GitHub workflow packages it automatically, you'll need to install it manually when developing locally,
such that it's available on the $PATH. See here for one-liner installation
instructions with your OS's package manager, or manually download a binary or compile it from source and place it in the
main project directory (next to LICENSE) or elsewhere on your $PATH.
Setting up an IDE
If you don't have another preference, the recommendation is to download and install IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition (possibly through the JetBrains Toolbox, if you have it already) as well as the Compose Multiplatform IDE Support plugin.
Alternative: Setting up JDK for use on CLI
You don't need this if you only use the JDK installed by IntelliJ IDEA.
Check which Java version this project currently uses (cat build.gradle.kts | grep JavaLanguageVersion) and install it.
For instance on Debian-based systems, you'd run:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jre openjdk-17-jdk libssh-dev
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64
Once it works (e.g. ./gradlew build), you may want to add that latter line to your /etc/environment.
Running the app / unit tests
From the "Gradle" window in the IDE, under "Tasks" select "compose desktop > run" or "verification > test" for the main app or unit tests, respectively, and run it. Next time, it will already be in the "Run Configurations" at the top right of the IDE, so you won't have to open the "Gradle" window again. You can also run these in debug mode and set break points in the code.
Alternatively on CLI: ./gradlew run or ./gradlew test.
