A collection of CLI tools meant to support and automate various aspects of developing Envoy, particularly those related to code review. For example, automatic DCO signoff and pre-commit format checking.

To get started, you need only navigate to the Envoy project root and run:

./support/bootstrap

This will set up the development support toolchain automatically. The toolchain uses git hooks extensively, copying them from support/hooks to the .git folder.

The commit hook checks can be skipped using the -n / --no-verify flags, as so:

git commit --no-verify

Currently the development support toolchain exposes two main pieces of functionality:

• Automatically appending DCO signoff to the end of a commit message if it doesn't exist yet. Correctly covers edge cases like commit --amend and rebase.
• Automatically running DCO and format checks on all files in the diff, before push.
