Note

You can customize languages and features with the interactive wizard in the aspect init command. init is an alternative to this starter repo, which was generated using the 'kitchen-sink' preset. See https://docs.aspect.build/cli/overview

Setup dev environment

First, we recommend you setup a Bazel-based developer environment with direnv.

1. install https://direnv.net/docs/installation.html
2. run direnv allow and follow the prompts to bazel run //tools:bazel_env

This isn't strictly required, but the commands which follow assume that needed tools are on the PATH, so skipping direnv means you're responsible for installing them yourself.

Try it out

Many commands are available on the PATH thanks to direnv:

copier --help
yq --help
