-# Speckle 3.0 Connectors!
-[![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/specklesystems/speckle-sharp-connectors/graph/badge.svg?token=eMhI4M8umi)](https://codecov.io/gh/specklesystems/speckle-sharp-connectors)

+
+ Speckle | Sharp | Connectors
+
-## Formatting
+
-Use [CSharpier](https://github.com/belav/csharpier) to format. There are a few options:
-- Install CSharpier as a local tool: `dotnet tool install csharpier`
- - This allows CLI use of CSharpier: `dotnet csharpier .` after `dotnet tool restore`
-- Install the CSharpier Visual Studio 2022 extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=csharpier.CSharpier
-- Install CSharpier as a global tool: `dotnet tool install csharpier -g`
- - This allows CLI use of CSharpier: `dotnet csharpier .` after `dotnet tool restore`
+> Speckle is the first AEC data hub that connects with your favorite AEC tools. Speckle exists to overcome the challenges of working in a fragmented industry where communication, creative workflows, and the exchange of data are often hindered by siloed software and processes. It is here to make the industry better.
-## Local development with SDK changes
+
+ .NET Desktop UI, Connectors, and Converters
+
-Use the `Local.sln` to include the Core and Objects projects from the SDK repo. This setup assumes the two Git repos are side by side.
+
-Using the `Local.sln` will modify all your package locks. Don't check these in! Revert or use the regular solution to revert once your changes are made.
+# Repo structure
-This uses a new Configuration for the solutions and projects which means that `Local` is now a build directory alongside `Debug` and `Release`
+This repo is the home of our next-generation Speckle .NET projects:

+# Developing and Debugging
+
+Clone this repo. **Each section has its own readme**, so follow each readme for specific build and debug instructions.
-![image](/Images/clean-locks.png)
+Issues or questions? We encourage everyone interested to debug / hack / contribute / give feedback to this project.
+
+> **A note on Accounts:**
+> The connectors themselves don't have features to manage your Speckle accounts; this functionality is delegated to the Speckle Manager desktop app. You can install it [from here](https://speckle-releases.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/manager/SpeckleManager%20Setup.exe).
+
+## Local Builds
+
+For good development experience and environment setup, run the commands below as needed.
+
+### Formatting
+We're using [CSharpier](https://github.com/belav/csharpier) to format our code. You can install Csharpier in a few ways:
+- Install CSharpier as a local tool and reformat from CLI
+ ```
+ dotnet tool install csharpier
+ dotnet csharpier
+ ```
+- Install CSharpier as a global tool and reformat from CLI
+ ```
+ dotnet tool install csharpier -g
+ dotnet csharpier
+ ```
+- Install the CSharpier extension for Visual Studio or Rider.
+ For best DX, we recommend turning on CSharpier's `reformat on save` setting if you've installed it in your IDE.
+
+### Clean Locks
+We're using npm package locks to store exact and versioned dependency trees. Occasionally you will need to clean your local package-lock files, eg when switching between `Speckle.Connectors.sln` and `local.sln`.
+Run this command in CLI to delete all package.lock.json files before a restore:
+```
+.\build.ps1 clean-locks
+```
### Deep Clean
+To make sure your local environment is ready for a clean build, run this command to delete all `bin` and `obj` directories and restore all projects:
+```
+.\build.ps1 deep-clean
+```
+
+## Local development with SDK changes
+If you'd like to make changes to the [`speckle-sharp-sdk`](https://github.com/specklesystems/speckle-sharp-sdk) side-by-side with changes to this repo's projects, use `**Local.sln**`.
+This solution includes the Core and Objects projects from the speckle-sharp-sdk repo, and uses a new Configuration to create a build directory alongside `Debug` and `Release`.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Using `Local.sln` will modify all your package locks. **Don't check these in!** Revert with the `clean-locks` command or use the regular solution to revert once your changes are made.

-Run this to clean out bin and obj directories. Then a restore is run to get things ready for a build.
