Usage

To run CShell you need, at least, 1 provider and 1 wallet.

To add a wallet, you can do the following:

cargo run -- wallet create

This will prompt you for a a name and a password. Keep in mind that losing the password means loosing the private key, because it is encrypted.

To add a provider, you can do something similar:

cargo run -- provider create

This will prompt you for a name, a kind (only UTxORPC supported), whether it is for mainnet or testnet, a URL and the possibility to add headers.

If you have a Demeter port you would have to set the URL as https://{host} and on put dmtr-api-key:YOUR_API_KEY on the headers.
