### Setup Git
Install [Git][], the version control system. If you're new to Git, peruse the documentation and go through some tutorials; I recommend familiarizing yourself with `checkout`, `branch`, `pull`, `push`, `merge`, and after a while, `rebase` and `cherry-pick`.

Please read the documentation on [submodules][] if you're not familiar with them. Note that because VSO's "Complete Pull Request" button merges with `--no-ff`, an extra merge commit will always be created. This can be annoying when trying to commit updates to submodules. When a submodule PR is approved, you can "complete" it without a merge commit by merging it to develop manually and pushing the updated head.
Our convention is to create feature branches `dev/feature` off our integration branch `develop`. We then merge `develop` to `master` every few weeks when it is stable.

## Setup build environment
There are two approaches. You can build in our Docker container and have all the [dependencies](docs/Dependencies.md) taken care of for you, or you can install them by hand and run "baremetal."
### Docker

This container isolates all our build dependencies, including Ubuntu 14.04 and Mono. See the [Dockerfile][] to look under the hood.
The `monad-docker.sh` script has two Bash functions, `monad-run` and `monad-tty`, which are wrappers that start a temporary container with `monad-linux` mounted and runs the arguments given to the script as your current user, but inside the container. The build artifacts will exist in your local folder and be owned by your user, essentially making the use of the container invisible. The `monad-tty` version also allocates a shell for the container, and so allows you to launch Bash or an interactive PowerShell session. Since these are Bash functions, it is simplest to source the `monad-docker.sh` script directly in your `~/.bashrc`, but the `./build.sh` script will also source it and delegate to `monad-run`.

## Building
Please note that the square brackets indicate that part is only necessary if building within the Docker container. If running baremetal, ignore them.
1. `cd scripts` since it contains the `Makefile` and `monad-run.sh`
2. `source monad-docker.sh` to get the `monad-run` and `monad-tty` Bash functions
2. `monad-run make -j` will build PowerShell for Linux, in parallel with `-j`
3. `monad-run make -j run` will build and execute a demo, `"a","b","c","a","a" | Select-Object -Unique`
4. `monad-run make -j test` will build PowerShell and execute the unit tests
5. `monad-tty make shell` will open an interactive PowerShell console (note the `tty`)
6. `make clean` will remove the PowerShell and CoreCLR execution environment `exec_env`
7. `make clean-native` will remove `libps`
8. `make cleanall` will do the above and also remove the NuGet packages in `buildtemp`
2. `[source monad-docker.sh]` to get the `monad-run` and `monad-it` Bash functions
2. `[monad-run] make` will build PowerShell for Linux and execute the managed and native unit tests
3. `[monad-run] make demo` will build and execute a demo, `"a","b","c","a","a" | Select-Object -Unique`
4. `[monad-run] make test` will build PowerShell and execute the Pester smoke tests
5. `[monad-it] make shell` will open an interactive PowerShell console (note the `it` for `--interactive --tty`)
6. `make clean` will remove built libraries
7. `make distclean` will remove all untracked files in `monad-native` (such as CMake's generated files) as well as generated files for `monad`
8. `git clean -fdx && git submodule foreach git clean -fdx` will nuke everything that is untracked by Git in all repositories, use with caution
