Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up inat-fetcher
for local development.
Please note this documentation assumes you already have poetry
and Git
installed and ready to go.
-
Fork the
inat-fetcher
repo on GitHub. -
Clone your fork locally:
cd <directory_in_which_repo_should_be_created>
git clone [email protected]:YOUR_NAME/inat-fetcher.git
- Now we need to install the environment. Navigate into the directory
cd inat-fetcher
If you are using pyenv
, select a version to use locally. (See installed versions with pyenv versions
)
pyenv local <x.y.z>
Then, install and activate the environment with:
poetry install
poetry shell
- Install pre-commit to run linters/formatters at commit time:
poetry run pre-commit install
- Create a branch for local development:
git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
-
Don't forget to add test cases for your added functionality to the
tests
directory. -
When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass the formatting tests.
make check
Now, validate that all unit tests are passing:
make test
- Before raising a pull request you should also run tox. This will run the tests across different versions of Python:
tox
This requires you to have multiple versions of python installed. This step is also triggered in the CI/CD pipeline, so you could also choose to skip this step locally.
- 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.
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.md
.
