Get Started!¶
Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up arlbench
for local development.
Fork the
arlbench
repo on GitHub.Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/arlbench.git
$ cd arlbench
Install your local copy into a conda env:
$ conda create -n arlbench python=3.10
$ conda activate arlbench
$ make install-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 ruff:
$ make format
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.
Pull Request Guidelines¶
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 Python 3.10 and above. This should be tested in the GitHub workflows.
Tips¶
To run a subset of tests:
$ make test
Deploying¶
A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:
$ bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags
Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
