Kit is the reference client of the MakeOS network being developed by the Make One team. It is being developed with the Go programming language.

Kit aims to provide a client that allows you to easily interact with the network, manage keys and create third-party applications via an RPC API and an extension system.

It provides a single command-line application named kit that returns non-zero errors when a command produces an error. You can use -h or --help to get descriptive help text for every command.

Global Options

Kit includes persistent flags that are settable from any command. These flags allow you to set things like the home directory, git executable path and so on.

Usage

kit [options]

Options

• -v, --version - Returns the version information of the client.

• --dev - Turns on development mode.

• --gitbin - Provide the path to git executable for performing git operations on repositories.

• --home - Set the data directory of the Kit client. By default, the home data directory will be created in the machine’s home directory with the name .kit. In dev mode, it will be named .kit_dev. If --home.prefix is set, it will be .kit_prefix.

• --net - Set the unique network ID. This will determine what network the client can interact with.

• --no-colors - Prevent the use of colors in the command output.

• --no-log - Disable Kit and Tendermint loggers.

• -h, --help - Print out a help message.

Environment Variables

Kit allows flags of all commands to be configured via the command line. For instance, to set the--home from the environment, use the variable KIT_HOME where KIT_ is the namespace and HOME is the target flag.
