Contributions are welcome, and they are greatly appreciated! Every little bit helps, and credit will always be given.
You can contribute in many ways:
Report bugs at xradar-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.
Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with "bug" and "help wanted" is open to whoever wants to implement it.
Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with "enhancement" and "help wanted" is open to whoever wants to implement it.
xradar could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official xradar docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.
The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at xradar-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 :)
Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up xradar
for local development.
-
Fork the
xradar
repo on GitHub. -
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/xradar.git
-
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ mkvirtualenv xradar $ cd xradar/ $ python -m pip install -e .[dev]
-
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
-
When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ flake8 xradar tests $ python -m pytest $ tox
To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
-
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.rst.
- The pull request should work for supported Python versions and for PyPy. Check GHA and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
To run a subset of tests:
$ pytest tests.test_xradar
A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in history.md). Then just create a release in the GitHub workflow. GHA will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
