Contributing

Thanks for helping improve SPy! Follow these quick steps:

  • Fork the repo https://github.com/spylang/spy, go to the project repo page and use the Fork button. This will create a copy of the repo, under your username (e.,g. https://github.com/yourghname/spy). (For more details on how to fork a repository see this guide https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/.)

  • Clone the repo

    git clone git@github.com:your-user-name/spy.git
cd spy

  • Install the native prerequisite: bdw-gc (the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector), e.g. libgc-dev on Debian/Ubuntu (apt install libgc-dev) or bdw-gc on macOS (brew install bdw-gc)

  • Create the virtualenv and install SPy with its dev dependencies

    uv sync

  • Activate a virtualenv and build runtime

    source .venv/bin/activate
make -C spy/libspy

  • Run the test suite to be sure that everything is working fine

    pytest

  • Install pre-commit

    uv pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install

  • Create a branch and commit your changes

    git checkout -b feature/your-change
# edit code, add tests, run pytest
git add -A
git commit -m "Describe your change"
git push origin feature/your-change

  • Open a Pull Request

    • Keep the PR focused and describe the problem and approach.
    • Ensure tests pass (interp, doppler, C where relevant).
