## Zero fuss installation & cross compilation
Mach is built from the ground up to support zero fuss installation & cross compilation, **only `zig` and `git` are needed to build from any OS and produce binaries for every platform.**
If you've ever worked with game engines in C, C++, Rust, Go, or any other language you've probably run into issues at one point getting the right system dependencies installed, whether it be library versions, compilers, system SDKs, X11/GLFW/SDL C dependencies, etc. With Mach, none of this is needed - it's all sorted out for you automagically.
Mach is able to do this thanks to Zig being a C/C++ compiler, Zig's linker `zld` supporting macOS cross compilation, and us doing the heavy lifting of packaging the required [system SDK libraries](https://github.com/hexops/sdk-macos-11.3) and [C sources](glfw/upstream/) for every dependency we need so our Zig build scripts can simply `git clone` them for you as needed for the target OS you're building for, completely automagically.
Under heavy development, not ready for use currently.

## About sub-repositories
## Contributing
In this repository, we maintain Mach as a monorepo. We pull in all commits from our library sub-repositories listed above using [`git subtree`](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/git-subtree):
```
git subtree pull --prefix glfw https://github.com/hexops/mach-glfw main
```
This pulls in all commits from our sub-repositories, and effectively leads to a full history of all Mach development across all core repositories.
Pull requests can be made to any repository (we synchronize both ways via `git subtree pull` and `git subtree push`.)
Mach is maintained as a monorepo. When changed are merged to this repository, we use some git fu to pick out the commits to subdirectories and push them ot sub-repositories. For example, commits to the `glfw/` directory also get pushed to the separate [mach-glfw](https://github.com/hexops/mach-glfw) repository after being merged here.
There are only two requirements:
1. Pull requests in sub-repositories must have a commit message prefix, e.g. `glfw: <commit message>` to keep our monorepo history nicer - we generally squash merge pull requests so this is not an issue.
2. Pull requests to this repository may not change multiple sub-repositories in the same commit (e.g. a commit to `glfw/` should not also include changes to `webgpu/`, to avoid confusion.)

1. Pull requests to sub-repositories must be sent to this monorepo, not to the sub-repository itself - to avoid some annoying merge conflicts that can arise.
2. Individual commits may not change multiple sub-repositories at the same time (e.g. a commit to `glfw/` cannot also include changes to `gpu/`, to avoid confusion.)
