Contributing to Spey

We welcome contributions to spey via Pull Requests to our GitHub repository. To get started, fork the main repository.

For anything beyond minimal fixes that do not require discussion, please first open an issue to discuss your request with the development team.

If your proposed changes are more extensive than a few lines of code, please create a draft pull request. This draft should include the context of the change, a description, and the benefits of the implementation.

  • For changes within the Python interface of the program, please run standard tests and write additional tests if necessary.
  • Ensure you add examples demonstrating the new implementation.
  • Specify any drawbacks of your implementation and offer possible solutions if available.

Pull request procedure

Follow these steps to submit a pull request:

  1. Fork the spey repository.
  2. Open an issue and discuss the implementation with the developers.
  3. Commit your changes to a feature branch on your fork and push all your changes.
  4. Start a draft pull request and inform the developers about your progress.
  5. Pull the main branch to ensure there are no conflicts with the current code developments.
  6. Modify the appropriate section of docs/releases/changelog-dev.md.
  7. Once complete, request a review from one of the maintainers.
