You can contribute in many ways:

Types of Contributions

Report Bugs

Report bugs at https://github.com/kylebarron/medicare_utils/issues.

If you are reporting a bug, please include:

  • Your operating system name and version.
  • Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.
  • Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.

Fix Bugs or Implement Features

Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Most issues are open to whoever wants to implement it, but comment on it so that I know you're working on it.

Write Documentation

medicare_utils could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official medicare_utils docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/kylebarron/medicare_utils/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 :)

Get Started!

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

  1. Fork the medicare_utils repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone [email protected]:your_github_user/medicare_utils.git

  3. Install your local copy into a Conda environment. If you don't have Conda installed, install Anaconda or Miniconda first. Then set up your fork for local development with:

    $ cd medicare_utils/
$ conda create env -f environment.yml
$ source activate medicare_utils
$ python setup.py develop

  4. Create a branch for local development:

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

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8 medicare_utils tests
$ python setup.py test or py.test
$ tox

  6. 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

  7. 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 3.6 and 3.7. Check https://travis-ci.org/kylebarron/medicare_utils/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_medicare_utils

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in CHANGELOG.md). Then run:

$ bumpversion patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags

Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
