<h3>Write Documentation<a class="headerlink" href="#write-documentation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Git Lint could always use more documentation, whether as part of the
official Git Lint docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts,
articles, and such.</p>

<p>If you are proposing a feature:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Explain in detail how it would work.</li>
<li>Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.</li>
<li>Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions
are welcome :)</li>

<h2>Get Started!<a class="headerlink" href="#get-started" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up <cite>git_lint</cite> for local development.</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first">Fork the <cite>git_lint</cite> repo on GitHub.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Clone your fork locally:</p>
<div class="highlight-shell"><div class="highlight"><pre>$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/git_lint.git
</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:</p>
<div class="highlight-shell"><div class="highlight"><pre>$ mkvirtualenv git_lint
$ cd git_lint/
$ python setup.py develop
</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Create a branch for local development:</p>
<div class="highlight-shell"><div class="highlight"><pre>$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now you can make your changes locally.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:</p>
<div class="highlight-shell"><div class="highlight"><pre>$ flake8 git_lint tests
$ python setup.py test or py.test
$ tox
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:</p>
<div class="highlight-shell"><div class="highlight"><pre>$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="section" id="pull-request-guidelines">
<h2>Pull Request Guidelines<a class="headerlink" href="#pull-request-guidelines" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>The pull request should include tests.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and for PyPy. Check
<a class="reference external" href="https://travis-ci.org/elfsternberg/git_lint/pull_requests">https://travis-ci.org/elfsternberg/git_lint/pull_requests</a>
and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="section" id="tips">
<h2>Tips<a class="headerlink" href="#tips" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>To run a subset of tests:</p>

</pre></div>
