### 1. Update Personal Information
Edit these files and replace placeholders:
**Cargo.toml:**
```toml
authors = ["Tony <your-actual-email@example.com>"]
repository = "https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/error-location"
```
**README.md:**
- Replace all `yourusername` with your GitHub username in URLs
- Update badge links
**CHANGELOG.md:**
- Replace `yourusername` in comparison URLs
### 2. Initialize Git Repository
```bash
cd error-location
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: error-location crate v0.1.0"
```
### 3. Create GitHub Repository
1. Go to https://github.com/new
2. Create a repository named `error-location`
3. Don't initialize with README (you already have one)
4. Push your code:
```bash
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/error-location.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
```
### 4. Test Before Publishing
```bash
# Build
cargo build --release
# Run tests
cargo test
# Check formatting
cargo fmt --all -- --check
# Run clippy
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
# Build docs
cargo doc --no-deps --open
```
### 5. Publish to crates.io
See `SETUP.md` for the complete publishing guide, but in short:
```bash
# Get API token from https://crates.io/settings/tokens
cargo login YOUR_API_TOKEN
# Dry run
cargo publish --dry-run
# Publish!
cargo publish
```
