## Development
- You need [.NET 8][net8] to build Foxchat.
- You also need the [EF Core tools][efcoretools]: `dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef`
- During early development the configuration files are checked into Git,
once the software is closer to usable they will be removed and replaced with example files.
- Both servers (Foxchat.Chat and Foxchat.Identity) should be run from their respective directories with `dotnet run`.
- The database can currently be migrated with `dotnet ef database update`, built-in migration will be added later.
- New migrations can be created with `dotnet ef migrations add <name>`.
