## Issue Addressed - Resolves #3338 ## Proposed Changes This PR adds a new `--network goerli` flag that reuses the [Prater network configs](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/tree/stable/common/eth2_network_config/built_in_network_configs/prater). As you'll see in #3338, there are several approaches to the problem of the Goerli/Prater alias. This approach achieves: 1. No duplication of the genesis state between Goerli and Prater. - Upside: the genesis state for Prater is ~17mb, duplication would increase the size of the binary by that much. 2. When the user supplies `--network goerli`, they will get a datadir in `~/.lighthouse/goerli`. - Upside: our docs stay correct when they declare a datadir is located at `~/.lighthouse/{network}` - Downside: switching from `--network prater` to `--network goerli` will require some manual migration. 3. When using `--network goerli`, the [`config/spec`](https://ethereum.github.io/beacon-APIs/#/Config/getSpec) endpoint will return a [`CONFIG_NAME`]( |
