Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up as3ninja for local development.

  1. Fork the as3ninja repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

$ git clone --branch edge git@github.com:your_name_here/as3ninja.git

  1. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you use poetry:

$ cd as3ninja/
$ poetry shell
$ poetry install

  1. Create a branch for local development:

$ git checkout -b (bugfix|feature|enhancement)/name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Now you can make your changes locally.

  1. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes comply to code formatting and pass the tests:

$ make lint
$ make code-format
$ make test

  1. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

$ git add .
$ git commit
$ git push origin (bugfix|feature|enhancement)/name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  1. Submit a pull request through GitHub.

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 update the relevant documentation.

  3. The pull request should work for Python 3.8 and up. Check https://github.com/simonkowallik/as3ninja/actions and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
