Get Started¶

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

Fork the scikit-ci-addons repo on GitHub.

Clone your fork locally:

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

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
```
Create a branch for local development:
```
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
Now you can make your changes locally.
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.

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

Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines¶

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

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