Code style

Python

We adopt PEP8 as the preferred code style.

We use the following tools for linting and formatting:

Style configurations of yapf and isort can be found in setup.cfg.

We use pre-commit hook that checks and formats for flake8, yapf, isort, trailing whitespaces, fixes end-of-files, sorts requirments.txt automatically on every commit. The config for a pre-commit hook is stored in .pre-commit-config.

After you clone the repository, you will need to install initialize pre-commit hook.

pip install -U pre-commit

From the repository folder

pre-commit install

If you are facing issue when installing markdown lint, you may install ruby for markdown lint by following

# install rvm
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s -- --autolibs=read-fail
# set up environment
# Note that you might need to edit ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, and ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
rvm autolibs disable
# install ruby
rvm install 2.7.1

After this on every commit check code linters and formatter will be enforced.

Before you create a PR, make sure that your code lints and is formatted by yapf.

C++ and CUDA

We follow the Google C++ Style Guide.
