You may build the benchmark.go locally and run local test.
Some of our scripts require bash 4.x support, please [install bash 4.x](http://tldrdevnotes.com/bash-upgrade-3-4-macos) on MacOS X.
### Running local test
```
The deploy.sh script creates a local environment of Harmony blockchain devnet based on the configuration file.
The configuration file configures number of nodes and their IP/Port.
The script starts one local beacon chain node, the blockchain nodes, and run a transactional generator program which generates and sends simulated trnsactions to the local blockchain.
```bash
./test/deploy.sh ./test/configs/local_config1.txt

### PR requirement
To pursue engineering excellence, we have insisted on the highest stardard on the quality of each PR.
* For each PR, please run [golint](https://github.com/golang/lint), [gofmt](https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/), to fix the basic issues/warnings.
* Make sure you understand [How to Write a Git Commit Message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
* Add a [Test] section in every PR detailing on your test process and results. If the test log is too long, please include a link to [gist](https://gist.github.com/) and add the link to the PR.
### Typical workflow example
The best practice is to reorder and squash your local commits before the PR submission to create an atomic and self-contained PR.
This [book chapter](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rewriting-History) provides detailed explanation and guidance on how to rewrite the local git history.
For exampple, a typical workflow is like the following.
```bash
# assuming you are working on a fix of bug1, and use a local branch called "fixes_of_bug1".
git clone https://github.com/harmony-one/harmony
cd harmony
# create a local branch to keep track of the origin/master
git branch fixes_of_bug1 origin/master
git checkout fixes_of_bug_1
# make changes, build, test locally, commit changes locally
# don't forget to squash or rearrange your commits using "git rebase -i"
