## 📦 Installation
**go-chaincfg** requires a [supported release of Go](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#policy).
```shell script
go get -u github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-chaincfg
```
## 📚 Documentation
- **API Reference** – Dive into the godocs at [pkg.go.dev/github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-chaincfg](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-chaincfg)
- **Usage Examples** – Browse practical patterns either the [examples directory](examples)
- **Benchmarks** – Check the latest numbers in the [benchmark results](#benchmark-results)
- **Test Suite** – Review both the [unit tests](genesis_test.go) and [fuzz tests](chaincfg_fuzz_test.go) (powered by [`testify`](https://github.com/stretchr/testify))
Development Build Commands
Get the [MAGE-X](https://github.com/mrz1836/mage-x) build tool for development:
```shell script
go install github.com/mrz1836/mage-x/cmd/magex@latest
```
View all build commands
```bash script
magex help
```
Repository Features
This repository includes 25+ built-in features covering CI/CD, security, code quality, developer experience, and community tooling.
**[View the full Repository Features list →](.github/docs/repository-features.md)**
Library Deployment
This project uses [goreleaser](https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser) for streamlined binary and library deployment to GitHub. To get started, install it via:
```bash
brew install goreleaser
```
The release process is defined in the [.goreleaser.yml](.goreleaser.yml) configuration file.
Then create and push a new Git tag using:
```bash
magex version:bump push=true bump=patch branch=master
```
This process ensures consistent, repeatable releases with properly versioned artifacts and citation metadata.
Pre-commit Hooks
Set up the Go-Pre-commit System to run the same formatting, linting, and tests defined in [AGENTS.md](.github/AGENTS.md) before every commit:
```bash
go install github.com/mrz1836/go-pre-commit/cmd/go-pre-commit@latest
go-pre-commit install
```
The system is configured via [`.github/env/`](.github/env/README.md) and provides 17x faster execution than traditional Python-based pre-commit hooks. See the [complete documentation](http://github.com/mrz1836/go-pre-commit) for details.
GitHub Workflows
All workflows are driven by modular configuration in [`.github/env/`](.github/env/README.md) — no YAML editing required.
**[View all workflows and the control center →](.github/docs/workflows.md)**
Updating Dependencies
To update all dependencies (Go modules, linters, and related tools), run:
```bash
magex deps:update
```
This command ensures all dependencies are brought up to date in a single step, including Go modules and any tools managed by [MAGE-X](https://github.com/mrz1836/mage-x). It is the recommended way to keep your development environment and CI in sync with the latest versions.
## 🧪 Examples & Tests
All unit tests and [examples](examples) run via [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-chaincfg/actions) and use [Go version 1.25.x](https://go.dev/doc/go1.25). View the [configuration file](.github/workflows/fortress.yml).
Run all tests (fast):
```bash script
magex test
```
Run all tests with race detector (slower):
```bash script
magex test:race
```
## ⚡ Benchmarks
Run the Go [benchmarks](chaincfg_benchmark_test.go):
```bash script
magex bench
```
