Development

Getting started

You need a GPG key without a passphrase!

Here's how you can remove a passphrase from an existing key: https://superuser.com/questions/1360324/gpg-remove-passphrase

gpg --output private.gpg --armor --export-secret-key github.com/stackabletech/cargo-install-action

Updating

Unless you're setting up an entirely new branch, work in the main branch. When you make changes you can later run the scripts/rebase.sh script with the name of a branch to update.

For example:

scripts/rebase.sh cargo-udeps
