Contributing to linked_text

Development Setup

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/pento/linked_text.git
cd linked_text
flutter pub get

Enable the pre-commit hook (recommended):
```
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
```
This runs dart format and dart analyze on staged Dart files before each commit.

flutter test

With coverage:

flutter test --coverage

The first version must be published manually, as pub.dev requires an initial manual publish before automated publishing can be enabled.

Verify the package is publishable:
```
dart pub publish --dry-run
```
Publish:
```
dart pub publish
```
On pub.dev, go to the package Admin tab → Automated publishing → enable GitHub Actions.
Set the repository to pento/linked_text and the tag pattern to v{{version}}.

Add a changelog entry under a new ## <version> heading in CHANGELOG.md.
Run the release script:
```
./tool/release.sh <version>
```
This will:
- Validate the version is semver-shaped
- Check the working tree is clean
- Verify CHANGELOG.md has an entry for the version
- Update the version in pubspec.yaml
- Run flutter analyze and flutter test
- Commit the version bump and create an annotated tag
Push to trigger the publish workflow:
```
git push origin main --tags
```
GitHub Actions will validate the release, run tests, publish to pub.dev, and create a GitHub Release.
