Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up oar3 for local development.

  1. Fork the oar3 repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/oar3.git
    
  3. Install the dependencies of the project into a virtualenv (for instance):

    $ python3.6 -m venv .venv
    $ source .venv/bin/activate
    $ pip install -r requirements/base.txt -r requirements/dev.txt -r requirements/test.txt
    

We use black code formatter, be sure to format code before committing. The easiest way is to activate pre-commit using the following command:

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

    $ flake8 oar tests
    $ py.test
    

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  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, 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 3.5 and 3.6, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/oar-team/oar3/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
