Contributing

The easiest way to contribute is to report bugs by opening Issues.

We apply automated code style normalization using black. This is done with a pre-commit, which you can set up like this:

1. pip install pre-commit
2. pre-commit install
3. pre-commit run --all

Step 2.) makes sure that the pre-commit runs automatically before you make a commit.

Step 3.) runs it manually.
