The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/quantori/conqur/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

Explain in detail how it would work.
Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.

Get Started!¶

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up conqur for local development.

Fork the conqur repo on GitHub.

Clone your fork locally:

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

Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
```
$ mkvirtualenv conqur
$ cd conqur/
$ python setup.py develop
```
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 black and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
```
$ black --check conqur
$ python -m unittest discover tests/
$ tox
```
To get black and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

You can also use the following commands from the Makefile:
```
$ make lint
$ make test
$ make test-all
```
To get other available commands from the Makefile just run:
```
$ make
```

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 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 and for PyPy.

Tips¶

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_conqur

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
