 # protobuf-specs
+
+This repository holds protobuf specifications for Sigstore messages.
+
+## Protobuf
+
+If you change protobuf definitions, you will need to regenerate the code by running the protocol buffer compiler on the changed `.proto` files.
+
+You will need [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed to generate the protobuf stubs. Then run, 
+
+```
+$ make proto
+```
+
+to generate the `*.pb.go` files under `gen/`.
