Contributing

Contributions are welcome, and they are greatly appreciated! Every little bit helps, and credit will always be given.

Types of Contributions

You can contribute in many ways:

Report Bugs

Report bugs at https://github.com/scikit-build/cmake-python-distributions/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

Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with "bug" is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Implement Features

Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with "feature" is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation

The cmake-python-distributions project could always use more documentation. We welcome help with the official cmake-python-distributions docs, in docstrings, or even on blog posts and articles for the web.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/scikit-build/cmake-python-distributions/issues.

If you are proposing a new 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 cmake-python-distributions for local development.

  1. Fork the cmake-python-distributions repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/cmake-python-distributions.git

  3. Make sure you have nox installed (preferably use pipx or brew (macOS) if you have those):

    $ pip install nox
$ cd cmake-python-distributions/

  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 linters and the tests:

    $ nox

  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 2.7, and 3.6+. Check `GitHub Actions https://github.com/scikit-build/cmake-python-distributions/actions/workflows/build.yml`_ and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

    $ pytest tests/test_cmake.py
# OR
$ nox -s tests -- tests/test_cmake.py
