Get Started!¶

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up asclepias-broker for local development.

Fork the asclepias/asclepias-broker repo on GitHub.

Clone your fork locally:

$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/asclepias-broker.git

Assuming you have pipenv, docker and docker-compose installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
```
$ ./scripts/bootstrap
```
Create a branch for local development:
```
$ 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 tests:
```
$ ./run-tests.sh
```
The tests will provide you with test coverage and also check PEP8 (code style), PEP257 (documentation), flake8 as well as build the Sphinx documentation and run doctests.

Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "component: summarize changes in 50 chars or less

* More detailed explanatory text, if necessary. Formatted using
  bullet points, preferably `*`. Wrapped to 72 characters.
* Explain the problem that this commit is solving. Focus on why you
  are making this change as opposed to how (the code explains that).
  Are there side effects or other unintuitive consequences of this
  change? Here's the place to explain them.
* The blank line separating the summary from the body is critical
  (unless you omit the body entirely); various tools like `log`,
  `shortlog` and `rebase` can get confused if you run the two
  together.
* Use words like "Adds", "Fixes" or "Breaks" in the listed bullets to
  help others understand what you did.
* If your commit closes or addresses an issue, you can mention
  it in any of the bullets after the dot. (closes #XXX) (addresses #YYY)"

$ 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:

The pull request should include tests and must not decrease test coverage.
If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring.
