Building

Requirements

• zig
• make

Make Targets

• build: build the release version
• run: build and run the debug version
• test: run all tests

Configuring the Word List

To configure the list of words genpass pulls from:

1. replace the contents of wordlist.txt with your list of newline-separated words
2. rebuild with make build or make run

Note: the word list is embedded into the executable, so wordlist.txt isn't required for the compiled program to run.
