This is the stencil code for the DinoDB assignments for Brown University's Database Management Systems course (CSCI 1270).
Refer to the dev-environment setup guide for instructions on how to set up the development environment for this repo. This is important to ensure you have all the necesary dependencies to run everything (such as Go and Task). Going forward, you should do all development work from within this dev environment.
This repo has a Taskfile that includes code for carrying out common tasks during development. If you've used Makefiles before in a previous course, you can think of Taskfiles as an easier-to-use Makefile replacement. You can run the task commands in any directory within this repo as long as you are within the course's dev environment.
To get an overview of all the Tasks available to run, run task --list or task -l. To execute a specific task, run task {TASK-NAME}. For more details on a specific task (including as arguments that can be passed), run task --summary {TASK-NAME}.
In general, our Taskfile is a wrapper around the go command - you can inspect the Taskfile.yaml file manually (or run task --summary ...) for more details on what specific commands are run.
