Setting Up a Development Environment

Use the following steps:

python -m pip install --upgrade setuptools pip
git clone https://github.com/jupyter-server/release-helper
cd release-helper
pip install -e .[test]

If you are using a system-wide Python installation and you only want to install the package for you, you can add --user to the install commands.

Set up pre-commit hooks for automatic code formatting, etc.

pre-commit install

You can also invoke the pre-commit hook manually at any time with

pre-commit run

Once you have done this, you can launch the master branch of release helper from any directory in your system with::

release-helper --help
