## Toolchains
| language | version | pinned by |
|---|---|---|
| Rust | nightly (2026-07-05) | `rust-toolchain.toml` (rustup) |
| Zig | 0.16.0 | `build.zig.zon` (`minimum_zig_version`) |
| Python | 3.14 | system |
| Go | 1.26 | `go.mod` |
| Ruby | >= 3.0 | `hue.gemspec` (`required_ruby_version`); reflink-snap uses stdlib only |
## Building
Install [redo](http://news.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/bin/redo-sh.html)
and the native toolchains; redo orchestrates `cargo`, `zig build`, `go build`,
`cc`, and a shared Python virtualenv. All common tasks are available via
`just`:
```sh
just all # build every tool into bin/
just build <target> # build a specific tool, e.g. just build lazymaster
just run <target> # build and run a tool
```
## Deploying
Builds and copies binaries to `$HOME/.local/bin`:
```sh
just deploy <target>
```
`deploy mpd` installs all five `mpd_*` binaries. Deployed Python tools
(diggah, lazymaster, nts, shuffle) are thin shims that run out of this
repository's `.venv`, and deployed Ruby tools (hue, reflink-snap) run
straight from the checkout; both need the checkout to stay in place.
## Development
```sh
just test # run the Rust, Zig, and Go test suites
just clippy # run Clippy over the Cargo workspace
just rustfmt # format the Cargo workspace with rustfmt
```
rust-analyzer works out of the box against the Cargo workspace.
## Other
```sh
just cargo-lockfile # update Cargo.lock
just pip-update # update requirements.txt (Python lockfile)
just clean # remove build artifacts and caches
```
