This is a list of the most frequently needed commands.

For instructions on how to deploy to a testnet or mainnet, check out the Solidity Scripting tutorial.
Foundry typically uses git submodules to manage dependencies, but this template uses Node.js packages because submodules don't scale.
This is how to install dependencies:
- Install the dependency using your preferred package manager, e.g.
bun install dependency-name
- Use this syntax to install from GitHub:
bun install github:username/repo-name
- Use this syntax to install from GitHub:
- Add a remapping for the dependency in remappings.txt, e.g.
dependency-name=node_modules/dependency-name
Note that OpenZeppelin Contracts is pre-installed, so you can follow that as an example.
Format the contracts:
$ forge fmt
Get a gas report:
$ forge test --gas-report
Lint the contracts:
$ bun run lint
Run the tests:
$ forge test
Generate test coverage and output result to the terminal:
$ bun run test:coverage
Generate test coverage with lcov report (you'll have to open the ./coverage/index.html
file in your browser, to do so
simply copy paste the path):
$ bun run test:coverage:report
