Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up django-functest for local development.

  1. Fork the django-functest repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/django-functest.git
    
  3. Create a virtualenv for the project, and then install django-functest into it locally for development:

    $ cd django-functest/
    $ pip install -e .
    

    You also need to install testing and development tools:

    $ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
    
  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 the tests:

    $ pytest
    

    See pytest --help for more options on test selection

    You can also use pre-commit to run all of the linters automatically when you commit:

    $ pre-commit install
    

    It can help to test other Django/Python versions with tox:

    $ tox
    

    To run the full test suite, you will need to install:

  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.

Conduct

Contributors of any kind are expected to act with politeness to all other contributors, in pull requests, issue trackers etc., and harassing behaviour will not be tolerated.
