# Garden Linux Release
A BOSH release for deploying Garden Linux.
To deploy Garden Linux to its own virtual machine follow the Vagrant BOSH instructions. Alternatively, to deploy Garden Linux to a Garden container in a virtual machine follow the BOSH lite instructions.
Either way, when you're done, Garden Linux should be running and you can create containers, run a process in a container, and so on via the REST API.
## Developing
We use concourse to run our tests. You should first set up concourse (a local vagrant install of concourse will do). If you want to use a remote concourse, set the GARDEN_REMOTE_ATC_URL environment variable, this will be passed as --target to fly if present.
The garden-linux-release package is a bosh release and a go workspace. The included .envrc will set up your GOPATH environment variable for you (if you have direnv installed and run direnv allow).
You can develop in the submodules (normally src/github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/garden and src/github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/garden-linux) and then, when you're ready to bump, run ./scripts/test-and-bump to run all the tests and generate a commit to bump the submodules. You can run all the tests without creating a bump commit with ./scripts/test.
