Get Started!
------------
Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up nfstream for local development.
1. Fork the nfstream repo on GitHub.
2. Clone your fork locally::
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/nfstream.git
3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. This is an example how you set up your fork for local development for Python3.6::
$ cd nfstream
$ virtualenv venv-nfstream-py36 -p /usr/bin/python3.6
$ source venv-nfstream-py36/bin/activate
$ python setup.py develop
4. Create a branch for local development::
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass the
tests::
$ python tests.py
6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub::
$ 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 GitHub 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.
3. The pull request should work for 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7. Check
https://travis-ci.org/aouinizied/nfstream/pull_requests
and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
Deploying
---------
A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy.
Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst).
Then run::
$ bumpversion patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags
Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
