Get Started!¶

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up fauxmo for local development.

Start by making an issue to serve as a reference point for discussion regarding the change being proposed.
Fork the fauxmo repo on GitHub.

Clone your fork locally:

```shell_session
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/fauxmo.git
```

Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have python >= 3.6 installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
```
```shell_session
$ cd fauxmo
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -e .[dev]
```
```
Create a branch for local development:
```
```shell_session
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
```
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass all tests configured for each Python version with tox:
```
```shell_session
$ tox
```
```

Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

```shell_session
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```

Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines¶

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

Pull requests of any substance should reference an issue used for discussion regarding the change being considered.
The style should pass tox -e lint, including docstrings, type hints, and black --line-length=79 --target-version=py37 for overall formatting.
The pull request should include tests if I am using tests in the repo.
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.md
The pull request should work for Python 3.7. If I have included a .travis.yml file in the repo, check https://travis-ci.org/n8henrie/fauxmo/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
