About

dev3.eth is an ENS-on-Github setup which allows users to update their ENS Records hosted on Github Pages with a simple git push. Users of dev3.eth CLI can redeem a free subdomain soulbound to their Github ID <id>.dev3.eth. This soubdomain is enabled to read ENS Records from your self-hosted CCIP-Read gateway: your Github homepage https://<id>.github.io. Your records are signed by you and validated by the Cloudflare micro-approver against Man In The Middle attacks (MITM) due to hypothetical compromise of CCIP providers' centralised infrastructure.

Pre-requisites

• dev3.eth feeds on your Github Pages for ENS Records. You must have your Github Homepage https://<id>.github.io configured to publish from <id>.github.io repository by default. Simple guide to doing this is here.

  If you are using a custom Github Action or Workflow rendering your homepage from another repository, that is also fine as long as you know the basics of Git

• It is advisable to have your Github homepage auto-deploy upon push. This is default for <id>.github.io repository and you don't need to do anything in this case.

  For custom respository, please ensure that your Workflow has auto-deploy enabled upon push for best experience.

• Have access to your <id>.github.io or custom repository linked to Github Pages. Duh!

 

Claiming your dev3.eth Subdomain!

Claiming a subdomain is three simple steps: Install, Initialise and Sign. The install step installs the dev3-eth client. init step sets up the environment for publishing ENS records. sign step signs your records against any kind of tampering (e.g. by Github).

👇 Details are below in short form and then in long form after that!

STEP 1

cd into your <id>.github.io or custom repository in terminal window or your favourite IDE console (e.g. VS Code) with:

cd <id>.github.io

STEP 2

Install dev3-eth CLI locally in your <id>.github.io or custom repository, or globally for better accessibility. That's it! You are now ready to redeem your free dev3.eth subdomain!

Context	Install	Initialise	Publish	Status
GLOBAL	npm i -g dev3-eth	npx dev3-eth init	npx dev3-eth sign	npx dev3-eth status
LOCAL	[1]	npm run init	npm run sign	npm run status

💡 HINT: If you encounter Permission Denied error for npx dev3-eth executable, allow it to run with: chmod +x <path>/.bin/dev3-eth
