Welcome to the `prettypyplot` Contributing Guide¶

This guide will give you an overview of the contribution workflow from opening an issue and creating a PR. To get an overview of the project, read the module overview.

Issues¶

Create a new issue¶

If you spot a bug, want to request a new functionality, or have a question on how to use the module, please search if an issue already exists. If a related issue does not exist, feel free to open a new issue.

Solve an issue¶

If you want to contribute and do not how, feel free to scan through the existing issues.

Create a new pull request¶

Create a fork¶

If you want to request a change, you first have to fork the repository.

Setup a development environment¶

condavenv

conda create -n pplt -c conda-forge python
conda activate pplt
python -m pip install -e .[all]

python -m venv ./prettypyplot
source ./prettypyplot/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .[all]

Make changes and run tests¶

Apply your changes and check if you followed the codeing style (PEP8) by running

python -m tox -e lint

All errors pointing to ./build/ can be neglected, they are caused by my lazy approach of using no wildcards in the setup.

If you add a new function/method/class please ensure that you add a test function, as well. Running the test simply by

python -m tox

And please ensure that the coverage does not decrease. Otherwise the CodeCov bot will complain.

Open a pull request¶

Now you are ready to open a pull request and wait on feedback.
