Development

there are git hooks one can use to automatically run checks before commit

ln -s $(pwd)/hooks/pre-commit.sh .git/hooks/pre-commit
ln -s $(pwd)/hooks/pre-push.sh .git/hooks/pre-push

to release:

• bump the version in Cargo.toml
• make sure to build first so that Cargo.lock gets updated (cargo build)
• commit the Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock files
• run cargo release --dry-run -vv
• run cargo release
