# Contributing to cmux
## Prerequisites
- macOS 14+
- Xcode 15+
- [Zig](https://ziglang.org/) (install via `brew install zig`)
## Getting Started
1. Clone the repository with submodules:
```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux.git
cd cmux
```
2. Run the setup script:
```bash
./scripts/setup.sh
```
This will:
- Initialize git submodules (ghostty, homebrew-cmux)
- Build the GhosttyKit.xcframework from source
- Create the necessary symlinks
3. Build and run the debug app:
```bash
./scripts/reload.sh
```
## Development Scripts
| Script | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `./scripts/setup.sh` | One-time setup (submodules + xcframework) |
| `./scripts/reload.sh` | Build and launch Debug app |
| `./scripts/reloadp.sh` | Build and launch Release app |
| `./scripts/reload2.sh` | Reload both Debug and Release |
| `./scripts/rebuild.sh` | Clean rebuild |
## Rebuilding GhosttyKit
If you make changes to the ghostty submodule, rebuild the xcframework:
```bash
cd ghostty
zig build -Demit-xcframework=true -Doptimize=ReleaseFast
```
## Running Tests
### Basic tests (run on VM)
```bash
ssh cmux-vm 'cd /Users/cmux/GhosttyTabs && xcodebuild -project GhosttyTabs.xcodeproj -scheme cmux -configuration Debug -destination "platform=macOS" build && pkill -x "cmux DEV" || true && APP=$(find /Users/cmux/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData -path "*/Build/Products/Debug/cmux DEV.app" -print -quit) && open "$APP" && for i in {1..20}; do [ -S /tmp/cmux.sock ] && break; sleep 0.5; done && python3 tests/test_update_timing.py && python3 tests/test_signals_auto.py && python3 tests/test_ctrl_socket.py && python3 tests/test_notifications.py'
```
### UI tests (run on VM)
```bash
ssh cmux-vm 'cd /Users/cmux/GhosttyTabs && xcodebuild -project GhosttyTabs.xcodeproj -scheme cmux -configuration Debug -destination "platform=macOS" -only-testing:cmuxUITests test'
```
## Ghostty Submodule
The `ghostty` submodule points to [manaflow-ai/ghostty](https://github.com/manaflow-ai/ghostty), a fork of the upstream Ghostty project.
### Making changes to ghostty
```bash
cd ghostty
git checkout -b my-feature
# make changes
git add .
git commit -m "Description of changes"
git push manaflow my-feature
```
### Keeping the fork updated
```bash
cd ghostty
git fetch origin
git checkout main
git merge origin/main
git push manaflow main
```
Then update the parent repo:
```bash
cd ..
git add ghostty
git commit -m "Update ghostty submodule"
```
See `docs/ghostty-fork.md` for details on fork changes and conflict notes.
