To report bugs and suggest features (including better documentation), please head over to issues on GitHub.
In general, we use pull requests to make changes to Jaxley. So, if you are planning to
make a contribution, please fork, create a feature branch and then make a PR from
your feature branch to the upstream Jaxley (details).
Clone the repo and install via setup.py using pip install -e ".[dev]" (the dev
flag installs development and testing dependencies).
For docstrings and comments, we use Google Style.
Code needs to pass through the following tools, which are installed alongside Jaxley:
black: Automatic code formatting for Python. You can
run black manually from the console using black . in the top directory of the
repository, which will format all files.
isort: Used to consistently order
imports. You can run isort manually from the console using isort in the top
directory.
black and isort are checked as part of our CI actions. If these
checks fail please make sure you have installed the latest versions for each of them
and run them locally.
Most of the documentation is written in markdown (basic markdown guide).
You can directly fix mistakes and suggest clearer formulations in markdown files simply by initiating a PR on through GitHub. Click on documentation file and look for the little pencil at top right.
