Getting Started

  1. Environment Setup:

    sudo ./install-depends.sh   # Install system dependencies (Ubuntu 24.04)
    ./install-pip.sh            # Install Python dependencies and package
    make venv-status            # Check environment activation state
    
  2. Development Workflow:

    make test           # Run comprehensive test suite (20+ tests)
    make update         # Pull latest changes from upstream
    make status         # Check git status
    
  3. TDD Workflow:

    make tdd-start NUM=X    # Start working on issue X
    make tdd-add-test       # Generate tests for current issue
    make tdd-status         # Check workspace status
    make tdd-finish         # Complete issue and integrate tests
    
  4. Issue Management:

    make list-issues        # Show all Gitea issues
    make list-open-issues   # Show active backlog
    make show-issue NUM=X   # Detailed issue view
    make test-coverage NUM=X # Analyze test coverage for issue
    
  5. Building:

    make build          # Build the package
    make clean          # Clean build artifacts
    

MarkiTect represents a significant evolution toward treating documentation as structured, validatable, and reusable data rather than simple text files, with robust tooling for large-scale content management and automation.
