Development setup

Prerequisites: Go 1.26+, git, make, and curl (used to fetch pinned tooling).

git clone https://github.com/zeropsio/zcli && cd zcli
make tools       # download pinned golangci-lint + goreleaser into ./bin
make build-dev   # build ./bin/zcli for the host platform

Common targets (run make help for the full list):

Target	What it does
make build-dev	Build ./bin/zcli with the devel tag, no optimizations (dlv-friendly).
make install	Build a production zcli and install to ~/.local/bin (same path as install.sh).
make install-dev	Install a zcli-dev binary into $GOBIN (or $GOPATH/bin).
make test	Run the full Go test suite.
make lint	Run golangci-lint across darwin/arm64, linux/amd64, windows/amd64.
make all	Cross-build dev binaries for all release platforms.
make goreleaser-snapshot	Dry-run a full release build into ./dist (no upload).

Tool versions (golangci-lint, goreleaser) are pinned at the top of the Makefile. Bumping a version triggers an automatic reinstall on next use; run make clean-tools to wipe ./bin and force a fresh install.
