How To Contribute
*****************

First off, thank you for considering contributing to
"service_identity"! It's people like *you* who make it such a great
tool for everyone.

This document intends to make contribution more accessible by
codifying tribal knowledge and expectations. Don't be afraid to open
half-finished PRs, and ask questions if something is unclear!


Workflow
========

* No contribution is too small! Please submit as many fixes for typos
  and grammar bloopers as you can!

* Try to limit each pull request to *one* change only.

* Since we squash on merge, it's up to you how you handle updates to
  the master branch. Whether you prefer to rebase on master or merge
  master into your branch, do whatever is more comfortable for you.

* *Always* add tests and docs for your code. This is a hard rule;
  patches with missing tests or documentation can't be merged.

* Make sure your changes pass our CI. You won't get any feedback until
  it's green unless you ask for it.

* Once you've addressed review feedback, make sure to bump the pull
  request with a short note, so we know you're done.

* Don’t break backward compatibility.


Code
====

* Obey PEP 8 and PEP 257. We use the """""-on-separate-lines style for
  docstrings:

     def func(x):
         """
         Do something.

         :param str x: A very important parameter.

         :rtype: str
         """

* If you add or change public APIs, tag the docstring using "..
  versionadded:: 16.0.0 WHAT" or "..  versionchanged:: 16.2.0 WHAT".

* We use isort to sort our imports, and we follow the Black code style
  with a line length of 79 characters. As long as you run our full tox
  suite before committing, or install our pre-commit hooks (ideally
  you'll do both -- see below "Local Development Environment"), you
  won't have to spend any time on formatting your code at all. If you
  don't, CI will catch it for you -- but that seems like a waste of
  your time!


Tests
=====

* Write your asserts as "expected == actual" to line them up nicely:

     x = f()

     assert 42 == x.some_attribute
     assert "foo" == x._a_private_attribute

* To run the test suite, all you need is a recent tox. It will ensure
  the test suite runs with all dependencies against all Python
  versions just as it will on Travis CI. If you lack some Python
  versions, you can can make it a non-failure using "tox --skip-
  missing-interpreters" (in that case you may want to look into pyenv
  that makes it very easy to install many different Python versions in
  parallel).

* Write good test docstrings.


Documentation
=============

* Use semantic newlines in reStructuredText files (files ending in
  ".rst"):

     This is a sentence.
     This is another sentence.

* If you start a new section, add two blank lines before and one blank
  line after the header except if two headers follow immediately after
  each other:

     Last line of previous section.


     Header of New Top Section
     -------------------------

     Header of New Section
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

     First line of new section.

* If your change is noteworthy, add an entry to the changelog. Use
  semantic newlines, and add a link to your pull request:

     - Added ``service_identity.func()`` that does foo.
       It's pretty cool.
       [`#1 <https://github.com/pyca/service_identity/pull/1>`_]
     - ``service_identity.func()`` now doesn't crash the Large Hadron Collider anymore.
       That was a nasty bug!
       [`#2 <https://github.com/pyca/service_identity/pull/2>`_]


Local Development Environment
=============================

You can (and should) run our test suite using tox. However you’ll
probably want a more traditional environment too. We highly recommend
to develop using the latest Python 3 release.

First create a virtual environment. It’s out of scope for this
document to list all the ways to manage virtual environments in Python
but if you don’t have already a pet way, take some time to look at
tools like pew, virtualfish, and virtualenvwrapper.

Next, get an up to date checkout of the "service_identity" repository:

   $ git checkout git@github.com:pyca/service_identity.git

Change into the newly created directory and **after activating your
virtual environment** install an editable version of
"service_identity" along with its tests and docs requirements:

   $ cd service_identity
   $ pip install -e .[dev]

At this point

   $ python -m pytest

should work and pass, as should:

   $ cd docs
   $ make html

The built documentation can then be found in "docs/_build/html/".

To avoid committing code that violates our style guide, we strongly
advise you to install pre-commit [1] hooks:

   $ pre-commit install

You can also run them anytime (as our tox does) using:

   $ pre-commit run --all-files

[1] pre-commit should have been installed into your virtualenv
    automatically when you ran "pip install -e '.[dev]'" above. If
    pre-commit is missing, it may be that you need to re-run "pip
    install -e '.[dev]'".

======================================================================

Conduct. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its
terms. Please report any harm to Hynek Schlawack in any way you find
appropriate. We can usually be found in the "#cryptography-dev"

Thank you for considering to contribute to "service_identity"!
