Write Documentation

NavARP could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official NavARP 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 Issue tracker .

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 navarp for local development.

  1. Create a dedicated conda environment (for example navarp-env):

    $ conda create --name navarp-env numpy scipy matplotlib colorcet h5py pyqt=5 jupyter ipympl pyyaml click
$ conda activate navarp-env
$ conda install -c conda-forge git

  2. Fork the navarp repo on GitLab.

  3. Move in the folder where you want to have the package and clone your fork locally by running:

    $ git clone git@gitlab.com:your_name_here/navarp.git
$ cd navarp/
$ pip install -e .

  4. Create a branch for local development:

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

    Now you can make your changes locally and it will affect the navarp program as long as you stay in this enviroment (in this example is navarp-env).

  5. When you’re done making changes, check the code by using navarp and/or running the examples.

  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 pull request through the GitLab website.

Pull Request Guidelines

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

  1. The pull request should include tests.

  2. If the pull 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.

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in CHANGELOG.rst). Then run:

$ bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags
