🏗 Development

Bytebase is built with a curated tech stack. It is optimized for developer experience and is very easy to start working on the code:

1. It has no external dependency.
2. It requires zero config.
3. 1 command to start backend and 1 command to start frontend, both with live reload support.

Prerequisites

• Go (1.19 or later)
• pnpm
• Air (must use 1.30.0). This is for backend live reload.

Steps

1. Install Air v1.30.0. Use 1.30.0 because the newer version changes the behavior and won't shutdown the previous service properly.

   go install github.com/cosmtrek/air@v1.30.0

2. Pull source.

   git clone https://github.com/bytebase/bytebase

3. Start backend using air (with live reload).

   air -c scripts/.air.toml

   Change the open file limit if you encounter "error: too many open files".

   ulimit -n 10240

   If you need additional runtime parameters such as --backup-bucket, please add them like this:

   air -c scripts/.air.toml -- --backup-region us-east-1 --backup-bucket s3:\\/\\/example-bucket --backup-credential ~/.aws/credentials

4. Start frontend (with live reload).

   cd frontend && pnpm i && pnpm dev

   Bytebase should now be running at http://localhost:3000 and change either frontend or backend code would trigger live reload.

5. (Optional) Install pre-commit.

   cd bytebase
   pre-commit install
   pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
