Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up metamoth for local development.

  1. Fork the metamoth repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/metamoth.git

  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Using venv is recommended:

    $ cd metamoth/
$ python3 -m venv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install -e .

  4. Create a branch for local development:

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

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. Install the development requirements:

    $ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

  6. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass the linting and unit tests, including testing other Python versions with tox. We use make to run the tests:

    $ make lint
$ make test-all

  7. 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

  8. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. 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.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11.
