Get Started

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up scikit-ci-addons for local development.

  1. Fork the scikit-ci-addons repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/scikit-ci-addons.git

  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed (pip install virtualenvwrapper), this is how you set up your cloned fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv scikit-ci-addons
$ cd scikit-ci-addons/
$ python setup.py develop

  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8
$ python setup.py test
$ tox

    If needed, you can get flake8 and tox by using pip install to install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.

  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.

  3. The pull request should work for Python 3.x and all associated checks should pass.
