A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

After deploying my first dapp to a mainnet I'm kind of confused about what to do with the contract source code in my repo. I mean the code is immutable now so it feels weird to have it tracked in version control. What do you do? Is there a way to lock these files? This is a foundry project.

My core issue is that it’s complex to dev against deployed contracts and contracts in progress side by side. Especially with subgraphs, integration tests and front ends wired up to them.

You can use tags in git. Tag the exact commit you deployed.

Yeah it gets even messier when you have some contracts that are diamonds and can be upgraded.

Balancing the immutability of smart contracts with the flexibility of CI/CD

Who's working on this?

I like to create a folder with the full flattened code and/or a separate git branch for that exact deployed version.

Can be tricky to keep the exact same bytecode for multi chain deployments when using git submodules
