Contributing

Contributions are welcome, and they are greatly appreciated! Every little bit helps, and credit will always be given.

Get Started!

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

1. Fork the lazytext repo on GitHub.

2. Clone your fork locally:

   bash git clone git@github.com:{your_name_here}/lazytext.git

3. Install the project in editable mode. (It is also recommended to work in a virtualenv or anaconda environment):

   bash cd lazytext/ make install pip install -e .

4. Create a branch for local development:

   bash git checkout -b {your_development_type}/short-description

   Ex: feature/read-tiff-files or bugfix/handle-file-not-found
   Now you can make your changes locally.

5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass linting and tests, including testing other Python versions with make:

   bash make build

6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

   bash git add . git commit -m "Resolves gh-###. Your detailed description of your changes." git push origin {your_development_type}/short-description

7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed. Then run:

$ bumpversion patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags
git branch -D stable
git checkout -b stable
git push --set-upstream origin stable -f

This will release a new package version on Git + GitHub and publish to PyPI.
