1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/kawamataryo/sky-follower-bridge.git
cd sky-follower-bridge

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory:

echo "PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=bsky.social" > .env

4. Build the extension:

# For Chrome
npm run build
npm run package

# For Firefox
npm run build:firefox
npm run package:firefox

Option 2: Using environment variable directly

You can also pass the domain directly during build:

# For Chrome
PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=your-custom-domain.com npm run build
PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=your-custom-domain.com npm run package

# For Firefox
PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=your-custom-domain.com npm run build:firefox
PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=your-custom-domain.com npm run package:firefox
