ssm-client could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official ssm-client docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.
The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/smart-spectral-matching/ssm-client-python/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.
- Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)
Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up ssm_client for local development.
Fork the ssm_client repo on [GitHub](https://github.com).
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/ssm_client.git $ cd ssm_client/
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have [pdm](https://pdm.fming.dev/latest/) installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ pdm install $ pdm shell or pdm run <cmd> for a single command
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 flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ pdm run make lint $ pdm run make test $ pdm run make test-all
To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
Commit your changes and push your branch:
$ 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 repository website.
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 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8, and for PyPy. Check GitLab CI and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
To run a subset of tests:
$ pytest tests.test_ssm_client
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
