# Contribution guide for developers
## Required Dev Dependencies
![Win](res/win_sm.png) Git for Windows [Install Here](https://git-scm.com/downloads) (needed for dev sh script)
## To Build, Test, Layout
Navigate to the `src` directory and run the following command:
![Win](res/win_sm.png) `dev {command}`
![*nix](res/linux_sm.png) `./dev.sh {command}`
**Commands:**
* `layout` (`l`): Run first time to create a full runner layout in `{root}/_layout`
* `build` (`b`): Build everything and update runner layout folder
* `test` (`t`): Build runner binaries and run unit tests
Sample developer flow:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/actions/runner
cd ./src
./dev.(sh/cmd) layout # the runner that build from source is in {root}/_layout
<make code changes>
./dev.(sh/cmd) build # {root}/_layout will get updated
./dev.(sh/cmd) test # run all unit tests before git commit/push
```
