Contributing
############
This document provides guidelines for people who want to contribute to
`django-downloadview`.
**************
Create tickets
**************
Please use the `bugtracker`_ **before** starting some work:
* check if the bug or feature request has already been filed. It may have been
answered too!
* else create a new ticket.
* if you plan to contribute, tell us, so that we are given an opportunity to
give feedback as soon as possible.
* Then, in your commit messages, reference the ticket with some
``refs #TICKET-ID`` syntax.
***************
Fork and branch
***************
* Work in forks and branches.
* Prefix your branch with the ticket ID corresponding to the issue. As an
example, if you are working on ticket #23 which is about contribute
documentation, name your branch like ``23-contribute-doc``.
* If you work in a development branch and want to refresh it with changes from
master, please `rebase`_ or `merge-based rebase`_, i.e. don't merge master.
*******************************
Setup a development environment
*******************************
System requirements: `Python`_ version 2.7 and `tox`_ (you may use a
`Virtualenv`_).
Execute:
.. code-block:: sh
git clone git@github.com:benoitbryon/django-downloadview.git
cd django-downloadview/
make develop
If you cannot execute the Makefile, read it and adapt the few commands it
contains to your needs.
************
The Makefile
************
A :file:`Makefile` is provided to ease development. Use it to:
* setup a minimal development environment: ``make develop``
* run tests: ``make test``
* build documentation: ``make documentation``
The :file:`Makefile` is intended to be a live reference for the development
environment.
*********************
Demo project included
*********************
The :doc:`/demo` is part of the tests. Maintain it along with code and
documentation.
