Contributing

For submitting code, use UTF-8 everywhere, unix-eol(LF) and set git --config core.autocrlf = input.

The typical development procedure is like this:

  1. Modify the sources in small, isolated and well-defined changes, i.e. adding a single feature, or fixing a specific bug.
  2. Add test-cases "proving" your code.

  3. Rerun all test-cases to ensure that you didn't break anything, and check their coverage remain above 80%:

    $ pytest

  4. If you made a rather important modification, update also the CHANGES file and/or other documents (i.e. README.rst). To see the rendered results of the documents, issue the following commands and read the result html at build/sphinx/html/index.html:

    $ python setup.py build_sphinx                  # Builds html docs
  5. If there are no problems, commit your changes with a descriptive message.
  6. Repeat this cycle for other bugs/enhancements.

  7. When you are finished, push the changes upstream to github and make a merge_request. You can check whether your merge-request indeed passed the tests by checking its build-status on the integration-server's site (TravisCI).

    Hint

    Skim through the small IPython developer's documentation on the matter: The perfect pull request
