Contribution guidelines

What to work on?

You are welcome to propose and contribute new ideas. We encourage you to open an issue so that we can align on the work to be done. It is generally a good idea to have a quick discussion before opening a pull request that is potentially out-of-scope.

Fork/clone/pull

The typical workflow for contributing to mapie is:

1. Fork the master branch from the GitHub repository.
2. Clone your fork locally.
3. Commit changes.
4. Push the changes to your fork.
5. Send a pull request from your fork back to the original master branch.

Local setup

We encourage you to use a virtual environment. You'll want to activate it every time you want to work on mapie.

You can create a virtual environment via conda:

$ conda env create -f environment.dev.yml
$ conda activate mapie

Alternatively, you can install dependencies with pip:

$ pip install requirements.dev.txt

Finally install mapie in development mode:

pip install -e .

Documenting your change

If you're adding a class or a function, then you'll need to add a docstring with a doctest. We follow the numpy docstring convention, so please do too. Any estimator should follow the [scikit-learn API](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/developers/develop.html), so please follow these guidelines. In order to build the documentation locally, run :

$ cd doc
$ make clean
$ make html

Updating changelog

You can make your contribution visible by :

1. adding your name to the Contributors sections of AUTHORS.rst
2. adding a line describing your change into HISTORY.rst
