Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up git_lint for local development.
Fork the git_lint repo on GitHub.
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/git_lint.git
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ mkvirtualenv git_lint
$ cd git_lint/
$ python setup.py develop
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ flake8 git_lint tests
$ python setup.py test or py.test
$ tox
To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
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
Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
