If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum please fork, fix, commit and
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
are ignored (use gofmt!). If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
commit on the `develop` branch and that you do not merge to master.
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.

Executables
===========
## Executables
Go Ethereum comes with several wrappers/executables found in
[the `cmd` directory](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop/cmd):
* `geth` Ethereum CLI (ethereum command line interface client)
* `bootnode` runs a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocol
* `ethtest` test tool which runs with the [tests](https://github.com/ethereum/tests) suite:
`/path/to/test.json > ethtest --test BlockTests --stdin`.
* `evm` is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: `evm -code 60ff60ff -gas
10000 -price 0 -dump`. See `-h` for a detailed description.
* `disasm` disassembles EVM code: `echo "6001" | disasm`
* `rlpdump` prints RLP structures
