📝 Next Steps

Immediate (Post-Build Verification)

  1. Verify Build ⏳

    Terminal window
    cd /home/claude/HeliosDB-Lite
    cargo build --release
    # Should complete successfully

  2. Verify Tests

    Terminal window
    cargo test --lib
    # Core library tests should pass

  3. Verify Binary

    Terminal window
    ./target/release/heliosdb-lite --help
    # CLI should work

GitHub Setup

  1. Create Remote Repository

    • Go to GitHub
    • Create new repository: “HeliosDB-Lite”
    • Description: “PostgreSQL-compatible embedded database with vector search, encryption, and multi-tenancy”
    • License: Apache 2.0
    • Initialize without README (we have one)

  2. Push to GitHub

    Terminal window
    cd /home/claude/HeliosDB-Lite
    git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/HeliosDB-Lite.git
    git branch -M main
    git push -u origin main

  3. Create Release

    • Tag: v1.0.0 (or v0.1.0-beta)
    • Use docs/social/GITHUB_RELEASE_NOTES.md
    • Mark as production release (or pre-release)

crates.io Publication

Terminal window
cd /home/claude/HeliosDB-Lite
cargo publish --dry-run    # Verify package
cargo publish              # Publish to crates.io

Documentation Hosting

🎯 Repository Features

Advantages of Standalone Repository
