Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https:/your-username/your-repo.git
   cd your-repo

2. Set up a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install --upgrade pip
   pip install pytest

Running the Application

To run the application, execute the square_calculator.py script:

python square_calculator.py

You will be prompted to enter a number, and the application will print the square of the entered number.

Running the Tests

To run the tests using pytest, execute the following command:

pytest test_square_calculator.py

This will run the test suite and provide a report of the test results.

GitHub Actions Workflow

The project includes a GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/square_calculator.yml) that automates the process of building, testing, and generating artifact attestations.

Triggering the Workflow

The workflow is triggered on workflow_dispatch for demo purposes.
