Get Started!

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

  1. Fork the ccres_weather_station repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

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

  3. Install your local copy into a virtual environment.

    1. With venv : Assuming you have venv installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development :
    cd ccres_weather_station/
python -m venv <name_of_your_env>
pip install -e .[dev]
    1. With conda : Assuming you have conda installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development :
    cd ccres_weather_station/
conda create -n <name_of_your_env> python=3.10
conda activate <name_of_your_env>
pip install -e .[dev]

  4. Install the pre-commit hooks by running :

    pre-commit install

  5. Make sure you have git-lfs installed, then run git lfs install.

  6. Create a branch for local development:

    git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  7. When you're done making changes, apply the pre-commit and check that your changes pass the tests, including testing other Python versions.

    pre-commit ccres_weather_station tests
python -m pytest

  8. If files are modified by the pre-commit hooks, you need to rea-add them :

    git add <your-modified-files>

  9. 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

  10. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. 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.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8, and for PyPy. Check https://github.com/ACTRIS-CCRES/ccres-weather-station/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests :

python -m pytest tests.test_ccres_weather_station

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 / release_candidate / dev
git push
git push --tags

This will then deploy the package in PyPI if tests pass and a tag is set, otherwise it will deployed on test-pipy.

Further words

pre-commit

Most of the pre-commit hooks require you to do nothing but save the changes. However, some pre-commits (e.g. pydocstyle) are sometimes hard to respect and can slow down your workflow. Although we recommend to let all of them to have a cleaner repo, if one or more are really annoying for you, you can remove or comment them in the .pre-commit-config.yaml file.

Before each commit, each hook is going to run against file in the staged area (files added with git add). Some of the hooks may modify the files, if this happened, the commit is cancelled. You need to re-add the file(s) modified by running git add <modified-file> and recommit.

Conventional commits

Although it is not mandatory, we suggest you to use the Conventional Commit conventions to write commit messages.
