Git Hooks for Sensitive Information

This project uses git hooks to automatically sanitize sensitive information before commits:

1. pre-commit hook: Automatically replaces the actual bundle identifiers with placeholder values before committing
2. post-checkout hook: Restores the actual bundle identifiers after checkout for local development

Setup

To use these hooks, make sure they are executable:

chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
chmod +x .git/hooks/post-checkout

How it works

• When you commit changes, the pre-commit hook will sanitize the project.pbxproj file
• After checkout/pull, the post-checkout hook will restore your actual development identifiers
• This ensures development team and bundle identifiers remain private

Development

• Follow SOLID and Clean Code principles.
• Apply Design Patterns as needed following Refactoring Guru guidelines.
• Use SwiftUI instead of UIKit.

TO-DO:

• Create characters step-by-step (race, class, background, initial equipment or wealth, choose point assignment systems) using SRD 5.1.
• Edit and save characters locally and/or remotely.
• Export character sheet as PDF.
• Import image for character, adding it to exportable character sheet.
• Export character token for use in Virtual Tabletops.
• Add new TTRPG Game systems like: Pathfinder, Vampire: The Masquerade, Call of Cthulhu, etc. There's a big list on TTRPGList.com

Note: Adding support for other TTRPG systems (such as Pathfinder, Vampire: The Masquerade, Call of Cthulhu, etc.) may require additional licensing considerations beyond the D&D Fan Content Policy. Please review and comply with the licensing requirements of each game system and publisher before implementing or distributing support for their content.
