To work with the code, just open the wolverine.sln file in the root of the repository and go. If you want to run integration tests though, you'll want Docker installed locally and to start the matching testing services with:

docker compose up -d

There's a separate README in the Azure Service Bus tests as those require an actual cloud set up (sorry, but blame Microsoft for not having a local Docker based emulator ala Localstack).

For contributors, there's a light naming style Jeremy refuses to let go of that he's used for gulp 20+ years:

1. All public or internal members should be Pascal cased
2. All private or protected members should be Camel cased
3. Use _ as a prefix for private fields

The build is scripted out with Bullseye in the /build folder. To run the build file locally, use build with Windows or ./build.sh on OSX or Linux.

All the documentation content is in the /docs folder. The documentation is built and published with Vitepress and uses Markdown Snippets for code samples. To run the documentation locally, you'll need a recent version of Node.js installed. To start the documentation website, first run:

npm install

Then start the actual website with:

npm run docs

To update the code sample snippets, use:

npm run mdsnippets

This is a little sad, but Wolverine started as a project named "Jasper" way, way back in 2015 as an intended reboot of an even older project named FubuMVC / FubuTransportation that was a combination web api framework and asynchronous message bus. What is now Wolverine was meant to build upon what we thought was the positive aspects of fubu's programming model but do so with a much more efficient runtime. Wolverine was largely rebooted, revamped, and renamed in 2022 with the intention of being combined with Marten into the "critter stack" for highly productive and highly performant server side development in .NET.
