Contributor Guide

Thank you for your interest in improving this project. This project is open-source under the MIT License and welcomes contributions in the form of bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests.

Here is a list of important resources for contributors:

How to report a bug

Report bugs on the Issue Tracker.

When filing an issue, make sure to answer these questions:

  • Which operating system and Python version are you using?
  • Which version of this project are you using?
  • What did you do?
  • What did you expect to see?
  • What did you see instead?

The best way to get your bug fixed is to provide a test case, and/or steps to reproduce the issue. In particular, please include a Minimal, Reproducible Example.

How to request a feature

Feel free to request features on the Issue Tracker.

How to test the project

python -m pip install nox
python -m nox -s test -p 3.10

How to submit changes

Open a Pull Request.

We use the towncrier package to manage release notes, so you should include a "news fragment" in the /news directory describing your changes. We'll be happy to help on the pull request thread to format that appropriately.

Making a new release

These are the steps that need to be run when minting a new release:

  1. Make sure that your local copy of main is up-to-date:

    git pull origin main
  2. Check out a new branch:

    git checkout -b release
  3. Update the release notes, using the version number that you're going to bump to (try running with --draft first):

    python -m towncrier build --version THE_NEXT_VERSION
  4. Open a PR with the new release notes and make sure that all the tests pass.

  5. Make a release on GitHub (it's good practice to make a release candidate first, just to be safe) with the appropriate version number.
