## Contributing

Contributions are welcome and you have the freedom to use whatever development tools you would like, as long as there is a human in the loop and all the clippy and unit tests pass you are good to submit a PR. Defects / Bugs just go ahead and fix and file a PR. New features, please create a issue in advance and let me know you are offering to build it. I don't want to be in a position where you worked for a couple of weeks on something and I don't want to merge it.

### Development

```bash
cargo fmt
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features
cargo run -p socktop -- ws://127.0.0.1:3000/ws
# TLS (dev): first run will create certs under ~/.config/socktop_agent/tls/
cargo run -p socktop_agent -- --enableSSL --port 8443
```

### Auto-format on commit

A sample pre-commit hook that runs `cargo fmt --all` is provided in `.githooks/pre-commit`.
Enable it (one-time):
