Fix Bugs

Look through the GitLab issues for bugs. Anything tagged with “bug” and “help wanted” is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Implement Features

Look through the GitLab issues for features. Anything tagged with “enhancement” and “help wanted” is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation

EnPT could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official EnPT docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/EnMAP/GFZ_Tools_EnMAP_BOX/EnPT/issues

If you are proposing a feature:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.

  • Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.

  • Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Commit Changes

How to

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up enpt for local development.

  1. Fork the enpt repo on GitLab.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@git.gfz-potsdam.de:your_name_here/enpt.git
    
  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv enpt
    $ cd enpt/
    $ python setup.py develop
    
  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass the codestyle and the software tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ make lint
    $ python -m unittest
    $ tox
    

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitLab:

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    
  7. Submit a merge request through the GitLab website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The merge request should include tests.

  2. If the merge 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.

  3. The merge request should work for Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10. Check https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/EnMAP/GFZ_Tools_EnMAP_BOX/EnPT/merge_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_enpt
