Contributing

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

Bug reports

When 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.

A helpful GitHub issue template is provided.

Documentation improvements

The package could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such. If you think something is unclear, incomplete or should be rewritten, please submit an issue report or make a pull request.

Feature requests and feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an an improvement proposal

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.
  • And of course, remember that this project is developed in the spare time of the maintainers, and that code contributions are welcome :)

Development

To set up pyGAPS for local development:

  1. Fork pyGAPS (look for the "Fork" button).

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/pygaps.git

  3. Create a branch for local development:

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

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  4. When you're done making changes, run all the tests:

    pytest

  5. 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

  6. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website. Testing on all environments will be automatically performed.

Pull Request Guidelines

If you need some code review or feedback while you're developing the code just make the pull request.

For merging, you should:

  1. Include passing tests (run pytest) [1].
  2. Update documentation when there's new API, functionality etc.
  3. Add a note to CHANGELOG.rst about the changes.
  4. Add yourself to AUTHORS.rst.
[1]If you don't have all the necessary python versions available locally you can rely on GitHub - it will run the tests for each change you add in the pull request.
