Shipyard is a Forge template for smart contract development. See the tutorial for detailed instructions on using Shipyard or jump down to the usage section below for more info on how it works.
Shipyard comes with some batteries included
- OpenZeppelin, Solady, and Shipyard-core smart contracts as dependencies, ready with solcremappings so you can jump into writing your own contracts right away
- forge fmtconfigured as the default formatter for VSCode projects
- Github Actions workflows that run forge fmt --checkandforge teston every push and PR- A separate action to automatically fix formatting issues on PRs by commenting !fixon the PR
 
- A separate action to automatically fix formatting issues on PRs by commenting 
- A pre-configured, but still minimal foundry.toml- high optimizer settings by default for gas-efficient smart contracts
- an explicit solccompiler version for reproducible builds
- no extra injected solcmetadata for simpler Etherscan verification and deterministic cross-chain deploys via CREATE2.
- a separate build profile for CI with increased fuzz runs for quicker local iteration, while still ensuring your contracts are well-tested
 
Shipyard can be used as a starting point or a toolkit in a wide variety of circumstances. In general, if you're building something NFT related, you're likely to find something useful here. For the sake of exploring some of what Shipyard has to offer in concrete terms, here's a guide on how to deploy an NFT contract.
To deploy an NFT contract to the Goerli testnet, fund an address with 0.1 Goerli ETH, open a terminal window, and run the following commands:
Create a directory and cd into it:
mkdir my-shipyard-based-project &&
cd my-shipyard-based-projectInstall the foundryup up command and run it, which in turn installs forge, cast, anvil, and chisel:
curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bashFollow the onscreen instructions output by the previous command to make Foundryup available in your CLI (or else restart your CLI).
Install forge, cast, anvil, and chisel by running:
foundryupCreate a new Foundry project based on Shipyard, which also initializes a new git repository, in the working directory.
forge init --template projectopensea/shipyardInstall dependencies and compile the contracts:
forge buildSet up your environment variables (make sure to swap in the appropriate value for <your_pk>):
export GOERLI_RPC_URL='https://eth-goerli.g.alchemy.com/v2/demo' &&
export MY_ACTUAL_PK_BE_CAREFUL='<your_pk>'Run the script that deploys the example contract and mints an NFT:
forge script script/DeployAndMint.s.sol --private-key \
    $MY_ACTUAL_PK_BE_CAREFUL --fork-url $GOERLI_RPC_URL --broadcastVerify the contract on Etherscan:
forge verify-contract <the_target_contract> Dockmaster --watch \ 
    --constructor-args $(cast abi-encode "constructor(string,string,address)" \ 
    "Dockmaster NFT" "DM" "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000") --chain 5Running this command merely deploys the unchanged example NFT contract to a testnet, but it's a good way to check for a properly functioning dev environment.
See the tutorial for more detail on modifying the example contract, writing tests, deploying, and more.
When working across branches with different dependencies, submodules may need to be reinitialized. Run
./reinit-submodulesIf you plan on generating coverage reports, you'll need to install lcov as well.
On macOS, you can do this with the following command:
brew install lcovTo generate reports, run
./coverage-report
