1# Support tools 2 3A collection of CLI tools meant to support and automate various aspects of 4developing Envoy, particularly those related to code review. For example, 5automatic DCO signoff and pre-commit format checking. 6 7## Usage 8 9To get started, you need only navigate to the Envoy project root and run: 10 11```bash 12./support/bootstrap 13``` 14 15This will set up the development support toolchain automatically. The toolchain 16uses git hooks extensively, copying them from `support/hooks` to the `.git` 17folder. 18 19The commit hook checks can be skipped using the `-n` / `--no-verify` flags, as 20so: 21 22```bash 23git commit --no-verify 24``` 25 26## Functionality 27 28Currently the development support toolchain exposes two main pieces of 29functionality: 30 31* Automatically appending DCO signoff to the end of a commit message if it 32 doesn't exist yet. Correctly covers edge cases like `commit --amend` and 33 `rebase`. 34* Automatically running DCO and format checks on all files in the diff, before 35 push.
