Your instructor may use one of the applications stored in this repository to conduct a Building on Solana workshop. There are a few key elements of this repository to understand:

• 📘 Resources to learn about Solana development - whether you're beginner or intermediate level, can be found in the Resources section below.
• 🔧 Setup steps are detailed in the How to Code Along section.
  • You can use a web-based IDE, which allows you to build & deploy programs without installation of any toolkits (ie. solana, rust, cargo).
  • You can also code along with your local setup, if you've got everything installed.
• 🔑 You'll get the best experience from these workshops by cloning down the redacted code and filling in the blank sections as you follow your instructor through the session.
  • You can choose to simply clone down the complete application & deploy that, but this may not be as insightful!
• ⚠️ If at any point you get stuck or have a question, you can share your workspace with your instructor - both for the web-based IDE & your local setup.

• Go to https://beta.solpg.io/ and when you open the page for the first time, you'll see a template Solana program repository.
  • You can choose to delete this template Solana repository.
• Click the "Wallet Not Connected" button in the bottom left & follow the prompts to either upload your existing wallet or generate a new one.
• To create a new repository (called a workspace), click the "New" button in the upper left-hand side.
  • Choose your toolkit: Solana Native, Anchor, or Seahorse.
  • Name it, and click "Create".
• 🔑 If you want to instead import an existing project, SolPG supports importing GitHub repositories as well.
  • Choose "Import from GitHub" & select the framework your repository is built using (Native, Anchor, Seahorse).
  • Follow the instructions detailed in the pop-up window about the specific path to provide.
  • Name it, and click "Import". You should see your program code in SolPG!

• Install the Solana CLI
  • Note: Requires Rust & Cargo full installation.
• Configure the Solana CLI's Cluster
  • solana config set -ul    : Sets cluster to http://localhost:8899
  • solana config set -ud    : Sets cluster to https://api.devnet.solana.com
  • solana config set -ut    : Sets cluster to https://api.testnet.solana.com
  • solana config set -um    : Sets cluster to https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
• Configure the Solana CLI's Wallet
  • solana-keygen new        : This will generate a new keypair to ~/.config/solana/id.json
  • Use the -o flag to change that output location.
  • Use the --help flag to get more information about the CLI commands.
• Building programs with Cargo
  • cargo new --lib program-name
  • Ensure you add the following config to Cargo.toml under [lib]: crate-type = ["cdylib", "lib"]
  • cargo build-sbf --manifest-path=path/to/Cargo.toml

• Simply clone this repo but use only the redacted-code branch
  • git clone [email protected]:solana-developers/workshop-dapps.git
  • git checkout redacted-code

• Click the little arrow symbol underneath your project's name/path. If you hover over it, it should say "Share" (Not "Export").
  • This will generate a unique URL that will allow anyone to route to your specific SolPG workspace.
  • Share this link with the instructor!

• Currently the best way to do this is by using GitHub.
  • You can push your most recent changes up to GitHub
  • Share the link with the instructor
  • Instructor can import the project into his/her SolPG instance
