This document describes how to build the project locally, both for interactive
development as well as referring to it from Nix code (for example, to run one of
its binaries on your machine).
{{<callout>}}
Please check the [Contribution Guide]({{< relref "contributing" >}}) on how to
contribute after following this guide.
{{</callout>}}
### Requirements
- Ensure you have [Direnv][] installed and [hooked into your shell][direnv-inst].
- Ensure you have [Nix][] installed.
### Getting the sources
Snix is hosted in its own Forgejo instance, hosted on [git.snix.dev](https://git.snix.dev/snix/snix), and a
(read-only) mirror on [GitHub](https://github.com/snix-project/snix).
Check out the source code as follows:
```console
$ git clone https://git.snix.dev/snix-project/snix.git
```
### Interactive development
```console
$ direnv allow
$ mg shell //snix:shell
```
This provides all the necessary tools and dependencies to interactively build
the source code, using `cargo build` etc.
### Building only
It is also possible to build the different Snix crates with Nix,
in which you don't need to enter the shell.
From the root of the repository, you can build as follows:
```console
$ nix-build -A snix.cli
```
Alternatively, you can use the `mg` wrapper from anywhere in the repository (requires the direnv setup from above):
```console
$ mg build //snix:cli
```
This uses [crate2nix][] to build each crate dependency individually.
Checkout the [Component Overview]({{< ref "/docs/components/overview" >}})
to learn more about the project structure.

You want to start contributing? Nice!
We do use [Gerrit](https://www.gerritcodereview.com) for Code Review.
It allows a more granular review (per-commit granularity rather than PR
granularity), as well as keeping track as how commits change over time.
It greatly simplifies the review process, and leads to overall more high-quality
contributions.
While it might initially look a bit intimidating, you hopefully will spend less
time learning its workflow than writing actual Snix code.

{{<callout>}}
This assumes you have the repo already cloned and the necessary tools installed
as described in [Building Snix]({{< relref "./building" >}}), so make sure you
went through these instructions first.
{{</callout>}}
### Creating a Gerrit account
- Navigate to [our Gerrit instance][snix-gerrit]. Hit the "Sign in" button
(which allows SSO with a GitHub account) [^1]
- In the User settings, paste an SSH public key and hit the "Add New SSH key"
button. [^2]
- Alternatively, you can also create "HTTP Credentials" (though saving the HTTP
password is messy).
### Update your git remote URL
Instead of trying to push to Forgejo, reconfigure your git remote URL to
interact with Gerrit directly.
Replace `$USER` with your `Username` shown in the Gerrit settings.
#### If using SSH authentication:
```console
$ git remote set-url origin "ssh://$USER@cl.snix.dev:29418/snix"
```
#### If using HTTP authentication:
```console
$ git remote set-url origin "https://$USER@cl.snix.dev/a/snix"
```
<!-- TODO: fix replication to include refs/changes/… etc, and ensure it
replicates fast enough, then update to --push only -->
### Install the commit-msg hook
Gerrit uses a `commit-msg` hook to add a `Change-Id: …` field to each commit
message if not present already. This allows Gerrit to identify new revisions /
updates of old commits, and track them as new revisions of the same "CL" [^3].
To install the commit-msg hook, run the following from the repo root:
```console
mkdir -p .git/hooks
curl -Lo .git/hooks/commit-msg https://cl.snix.dev/tools/hooks/commit-msg
chmod +x .git/hooks/commit-msg
```
{{< callout context="tip" title="Did you know?" icon="outline/rocket" >}}
Gerrit refuses receiving commits without these `Change-Id: …` fields.
If you already have some local commits without `Change-Id` field, `git commit
--amend` them after installing the `commit-msg` hook to add them.
{{< /callout >}}
### Push your changes
Do some local changes, and push them to Gerrit as follows:
```console
$ git push origin HEAD:refs/for/canon
```
Gerrit will print links to newly created CLs to your terminal.
If you want to update/edit your CL, simply squash these changes into your local
commit and push again.
### The Gerrit model
If do not have experience with the Gerrit, consider reading the
[<cite>Working with Gerrit: An example</cite>][Gerrit Walkthrough] or
[<cite>Basic Gerrit WalkthroughFor GitHub Users</cite>][gerrit-for-github-users].
Some more tips:
* Assign a reviewer to review your changes.
* React on comments and mark them as resolved once you did.
* Comments are only "Drafts" (stored server-side) until you send them off.
This can be done by the `Reply` button on the top, for example.
* Once CI is green, it's up to the *Author* of the CL to submit, not the
reviewer.
If you want a bot to automatically submit in this case, you can add the
`Autosubmit+1` label.
* Rebase on `origin/canon` regularly. You cannot push if you still have an old
version of a now-submitted CL in your git log.
{{< callout context="tip" title="Did you know?" icon="outline/rocket" >}}
You can immediately assign reviewers and other fields while pushing a
new/updated change, by adding it to the push URL.
```console
$ git push origin HEAD:refs/for/canon%r=alice,cc=bob,l=Autosubmit+1,publish-comments
```
* will set `alice` as a reviewer
* will set `bob` as CC
* adds the `Autosubmit+1` label
* publishes any outstanding draft comments

If you want to use (parts of) Snix in your own project, you can simply refer to
it using cargo and specifying the git sources. `cargo` will pin the exact rev
in `Cargo.lock`. See [The Cargo Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html#specifying-dependencies-from-git-repositories) for details.
We do not publish to crates.io yet, due to the interfaces still being a bit
in flux.
For example, to add `nix-compat`, exposing a lot of Nix data types and formats,
add the following line to your `Cargo.toml`'s `[dependencies]`':
```toml
nix-compat = { git = "https://git.snix.dev/snix/snix.git" }
```
{{<callout>}}
Keep in mind some crates have additional requirements on their environment.
For example, `snix-castore` and `snix-store` need to have access to a `protobuf`
compiler and the proto defintions (setting `PROTO_ROOT` usually).
`tvix-build` wants `TVIX_BUILD_SANDBOX_SHELL` to be set, etc.
Check each crates' `build.rs` scripts for details.
