9. Contributions¶
All contributions are welcome!
It is best to separate proposed changes and PRs into small, distinct patches by type so that they can be merged faster into upstream and released quicker.
One way to organize contributions would be to separate PRs for e.g.
bugfixes,
new features,
code and design improvements,
documentation improvements, or
tooling and CI improvements.
Merging contributions requires passing the checks configured with the CI. This includes running tests and linters successfully on the currently officially supported Python and Django versions.
10. Development¶
You can contribute to this project forking it from GitHub and sending pull requests.
First fork the repository and then clone it:
$ git clone git@github.com:<you>/django-axes.git
Initialize a virtual environment for development purposes:
$ mkdir -p ~/.virtualenvs
$ python3 -m venv ~/.virtualenvs/django-axes
$ source ~/.virtualenvs/django-axes/bin/activate
Then install the necessary requirements:
$ cd django-axes
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Unit tests are located in the axes/tests
folder and can be easily run with the pytest tool:
$ pytest
Prospector runs a number of source code style, safety, and complexity checks:
$ prospector
Mypy runs static typing checks to verify the source code type annotations and correctness:
$ mypy .
Before committing, you can run all the above tests against all supported Python and Django versions with tox:
$ tox
Tox runs the same test set that is run by GitHub Actions, and your code should be good to go if it passes.
If you wish to limit the testing to specific environment(s), you can parametrize the tox run:
$ tox -e py39-django32
After you have pushed your changes, open a pull request on GitHub for getting your code upstreamed.
