Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up ssh2_parse_key for local development.

  1. Fork the ssh2_parse_key repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally::

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/ssh2_parse_key.git

  3. We use poetry for development, this is how you set up your fork for local development

    $ cd ssh2_parse_key/ $ poetry install

  4. Create a branch for local development::

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Now you can make your changes locally.

  1. When you're done making changes, use pre-commit to do basic checks and ensure formatting is consitant, and check that your changes pass the tests::

    $ pre-commit run $ poetry run pytest $ poetry run make docs # generate local docs for checking

pre-commit may need to be installed onto your system.

  1. 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

  2. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

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::

$ bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch $ git push $ git push --tags

Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
