Creating Kennels

Kennels use a simple project structure:

src/        <- project files (bundled automatically)
lib.glang   <- entry point
kennel.toml <- package configuration
.gitignore  <- git configuration (if git is used)

You can use glang new kennel to automatically generate this configuration for you.

Configuring kennel.toml

kennel.toml uses the TOML syntax to assign various fields for configuring your kennel.

[package]
name = "my_kennel"                             # snake case name of your package
version = "0.1.0"                              # kennel version (semantic only)
entry = "lib.glang"                            # entry point (main file users import)

[requirements] 
# list of external kennels required 
# name = version

Key fields

• name: Your kennel’s import name. Must be snake_case.
• entry: The GLang file that loads when someone imports your kennel.
• requirements: Add any external kennels (by name/version) your kennel depends on.

Distributing Your Kennel

Your kennel can be distributed by creating an installable .kennel file.

glang package

This will build and resolve any requirements, ensuring the kennel is ready for distribution. The final kennel is created as name-version.kennel
