This repository contains the source for the Indy DID Method specification. The initital content was transferred from a collaborative HackMD document.

The current version of the spec is rendered here: https://hyperledger.github.io/indy-did-method/

To contribute to the specification, please submit a pull request by:

• forking the repo
• editing the appropriate markdown files in the /spec folder

The specification is rendered from the markdown files to the index.html specification file in the /docs folder using Spec-Up. The full guidance for using SpecUp is in that documentation. The short version of the instructions for this repository is:

• Install prerequisites: node and npm
• Run npm install from the root of the repository
• Run npm run edit from the root of the repository to render the document with live updates to the docs/index.html. You can see the updates as you make as you edit the markdown files. Open the rendered file in a browser and refresh to see the updates as you work.
• You can also run npm run render to just generate the specification file once.

When you create a PR to update the specification, please DO NOT include docs/index.html. A GitHub Action on merge of PRs automagically renders for the full specification (docs/index.html) to the gh-pages branch in the repo and the specification is published from there. If there is a way to .gitignore the index.html in the main branch but not in the gh-pages branch, please let us know.

Hint: One way to revert the updated docs/index.html before doing a commit, is to run: git checkout -- docs/index.html

An alternative way to contribute to the specification, without any local installation, is to use Gitpod.

• Fork the repo.
• Open https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/YOUR_FORK_USER/indy-did-method
• Register with Gitpod using your GitHub Account and provide public_repo permissions in order to commit to your fork from Gitpod.
• You'll see a prepared VSCode workspace with two windows. To the left, you can edit the markdown files in the /spec folder. To the right, you'll see the rendered spec.
• If the window is frozen try to reload the page.
• You can create a new branch and commit and push your changes using a terminal or the source control plugin to the left.
• Then, you can create a pull request from Github.
