Types of Contributions

Report Bugs

If you are reporting a bug, please include:

Your operating system name and version.
Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.
Detailed steps to reproduce the bug, preferably with a simple code example that reproduces the bug.

Fix Bugs

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

Implement Features

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 :)

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up ispypsa for local development.

Download a copy of ispypsa locally.
Install uv.
Install ispypsa using uv by running uv sync in the project directory.
Install the pre-commit git hook scripts that ispypsa uses by running the following code using uv:
```
$ uv run pre-commit install
```
Use git (or similar) to create a branch for local development and make your changes:
```
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
When you're done making changes, check that your changes conform to any code formatting requirements (we use ruff) and pass any tests.
- pre-commit should run ruff, but if you wish to do so manually, run the following code to use ruff as a uv tool:
```
uvx ruff check --fix
uvx ruff format
```
- Run tests by running uv run --frozen pytest
Commit your changes and open a pull request.

Pull Request Guidelines

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

The pull request should include additional tests if appropriate.
If the pull request adds functionality, the docstrings/README/docs should be updated.
The pull request should work for all currently supported operating systems and versions of Python.
