Contributing

Contributions are welcome, and they are greatly appreciated! Every little bit helps, and credit will always be given.

You can contribute in many ways:

Types of Contributions

Report Bugs

Report bugs at https://github.com/SforAiDl/vformer/issues.

If you are reporting a bug, please include:

  • Your operating system name and version.
  • Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.
  • Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.

Fix Bugs

Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with "bug" and "help wanted" is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Implement Features

Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with "enhancement" and "help wanted" is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation

vformer could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official vformer docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/SforAiDl/vformer/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.
  • Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
  • Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up vformer for local development.

  1. Fork the vformer repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/vformer.git

  3. Create a Conda virtual environment using the environment.yml file. Install your local copy of the package into the environment:

    $ conda env create -f environment.yml
$ conda activate vformer
$ cd vformer/
$ python setup.py develop

  4. Set up pre-commit hooks:

    $ pip install pre-commit
$ pre-commit install

  1. Create a branch for local development:

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

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  2. Ensure you write tests for the code you add and run the tests before you commit. You can run tests locally using pytest from the root directory of the repository:

    $ pytest

  3. 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

  4. 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, appropriate doctrings should be added.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ pytest tests.test_vformer

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:

$ bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags

Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
