Working with the Source Code

This project requires Poetry, so feel free to take advantage and use it for its various conveniences like building sdist/wheel packages, creating and managing dependencies, virtual environments, and more.

Note:

• Source Code may have changes that may be old, not yet tested or stable, or may have regressions.
• Only run or install from Source Code if you have a good reason. Examples would be to test for regressions, test changes (either your own or other contributors), or to research the code (agreeing to the LICENSE).
• Poetry is required as it's used as the PEP 517 build system, virtual environment manager, dependency manager, and more.

Install from Source Code

git clone https://github.com/rlaphoenix/hdlg.git
cd hdlg
