# Contributing Guide | ||
|
||
QtAwesome is part of the Spyder IDE Github org, and is developed with standard Github flow. | ||
|
||
If you're not comfortable with at least the basics of ``git`` and GitHub, we recommend reading beginner tutorials such as [GitHub's Git Guide](https://github.com/git-guides/), its [introduction to basic Git commands](https://guides.github.com/introduction/git-handbook/#basic-git) and its [guide to the fork workflow](https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/), or (if you prefer) their [video equivalents](https://www.youtube.com/githubguides). | ||
However, this contributing guide should fill you in on most of the basics you need to know. | ||
|
||
Let us know if you have any further questions, and we look forward to your contributions! | ||
|
||
|
||
## Reporting Issues | ||
|
||
Discover a bug? | ||
Want a new feature? | ||
[Open](https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtawesome/issues/new/choose) an [issue](https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtawesome/issues)! | ||
Make sure to describe the bug or feature in detail, with reproducible examples and references if possible, what you are looking to have fixed/added. | ||
While we can't promise we'll fix everything you might find, we'll certainly take it into consideration, and typically welcome pull requests to resolve accepted issues. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Setting Up a Development Environment | ||
|
||
**Note**: You may need to substitute ``python3`` for ``python`` in the commands below on some Linux distros where ``python`` isn't mapped to ``python3`` (yet). | ||
|
||
### Fork and clone the repo | ||
|
||
First, navigate to the [project repository](https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtawesome) in your web browser and press the ``Fork`` button to make a personal copy of the repository on your own Github account. | ||
Then, click the ``Clone or Download`` button on your repository, copy the link and run the following on the command line to clone the repo: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
git clone <LINK-TO-YOUR-REPO> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Finally, set the upstream remote to the official QtAwesome repo with: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
git remote add upstream https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtawesome.git | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
### Create and activate a fresh environment | ||
|
||
Particularly for development installs, we highly recommend you create and activate a virtual environment to avoid any conflicts with other packages on your system or causing any other issues. | ||
Of course, you're free to use any environment management tool of your choice (conda, virtualenvwrapper, pyenv, etc). | ||
|
||
To do so with Conda (recommended), simply execute the following: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
conda create -c conda-forge -n qtawesome-env python=3.9 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
And activate it with | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
conda activate qtawesome-env | ||
``` | ||
|
||
With pip/venv, you can create a virtual environment with | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
python -m venv qtawesome-env | ||
``` | ||
|
||
And activate it with the following on Linux and macOS, | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
source qtawesome-env/bin/activate | ||
``` | ||
|
||
or on Windows (cmd), | ||
|
||
```cmd | ||
.\qtawesome-env\Scripts\activate.bat | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Regardless of the tool you use, make sure to remember to always activate your environment before using it. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Install a Python Qt binding and QtAwesome in editable mode | ||
|
||
Before installing QtAwesome itself, make sure you have the Qt binding(s) you wish to develop against. | ||
For example, for PyQt5 on Conda, you'd run with created env activated: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
conda env update --file requirements/environment.yml | ||
``` | ||
|
||
And then install QtAwesome: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
python -m pip install -e . --no-deps | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Or for the same using pip, you'd execute: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
python -m pip install pyqt5==5.* PyQtWebEngine==5.* | ||
``` | ||
|
||
And then install QtAwesome: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
python -m pip install -e .[test] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
You can then import and use QtAwesome as normal. | ||
When you make changes in your local copy of the git repository, they will be reflected in your installed copy as soon as you re-run Python. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Deciding Which Branch to Use | ||
|
||
When you start to work on a new pull request (PR), you need to be sure that your work is done on top of the correct branch, and that you base your PR on Github against it. | ||
|
||
To guide you, issues on Github are marked with a milestone that indicates the correct branch to use: | ||
|
||
* `master` branch: Changes for versions >=`1.x` | ||
* `0.x` branch: Maintainance for versions <= `0.x` (currently no work is being done here) | ||
|
||
## Making Your Changes | ||
|
||
To start working on a new PR, you need to execute these commands, filling in the branch names where appropriate (``<BASE-BRANCH>`` is the branch you're basing your work against, e.g. ``master``, while ``<FEATURE-BRANCH>`` is the branch you'll be creating to store your changes, e.g. ``fix-icon-bug`` or ``add-icon-support``: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
git checkout <BASE-BRANCH> | ||
git pull upstream <BASE-BRANCH> | ||
git checkout -b <FEATURE-BRANCH> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Once you've made and tested your changes, commit them with a descriptive, unique message of 74 characters or less written in the imperative tense, with a capitalized first letter and no period at the end. | ||
Try to make your commit message understandable on its own, giving the reader a high-level idea of what your changes accomplished without having to dig into the diffs. | ||
For example: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
git commit -am "Fix bug using custom font on Windows" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If your changes are complex (more than a few dozen lines) and can be broken into discrete steps/parts, its often a good idea to make multiple commits as you work. | ||
On the other hand, if your changes are fairly small (less than a dozen lines), its usually better to make them as a single commit, and then use the ``git -a --amend`` (followed by ``git push -f``, if you've already pushed your work) if you spot a bug or a reviewer requests a change. | ||
|
||
These aren't hard and fast rules, so just use your best judgment, and if there does happen to be a significant issue we'll be happy to help. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Running the Tests | ||
|
||
Once you've made your changes (or ideally, before), you'll want to run the full test suite and write new tests of your own, if you haven't already done so. | ||
|
||
This package uses the [Pytest](https://pytest.org) framework for its unit and integration tests, which are located inside the package alongside the tested code, in the ``tests/`` subdirectory. | ||
We **strongly** suggest you run the full test suite before every commit (it should only take a few seconds to run on most machines). | ||
|
||
In general, any new major functionality should come with tests, and we welcome contributing to expand our coverage, increase reliability, and ensure we don't experience any regressions. | ||
If you need help writing tests, please let us know, and we'll be happy to guide you. | ||
|
||
To run the tests, install the development dependencies as above, and then simply execute | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
pytest -vv -x | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
## Pushing your Changes | ||
|
||
Now that your changes are ready to go, you'll need to push them to the appropriate remote. | ||
All contributors, including core developers, should push to their personal fork and submit a PR from there, to avoid cluttering the upstream repo with feature branches. | ||
To do so, run: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
git push -u origin <FEATURE-BRANCH> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Where ``<FEATURE-BRANCH>`` is the name of your feature branch, e.g. ``fix-icon-bug``. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Submitting a Pull Request | ||
|
||
Finally, create a pull request to the [spyder-ide/qtawesome repository](https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtawesome/) on Github. | ||
Make sure to set the target branch to the one you based your PR off of (``master`` or ``X.x``). | ||
|
||
We'll then review your changes, and after they're ready to go, your work will become an official part of Qtawesome. | ||
|
||
Thanks for taking the time to read and follow this guide, and we look forward to your contributions! |
