All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical
commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to
patches@git.madduck.net.
If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them,
I'd be especially grateful.
3 An overview on contributing to the _Black_ project.
7 Development on the latest version of Python is preferred. As of this writing it's 3.9.
8 You can use any operating system.
10 Install all development dependencies using:
13 $ python3 -m venv .venv
14 $ source .venv/bin/activate
15 (.venv)$ pip install -r test_requirements.txt
16 (.venv)$ pip install -e .[d]
17 (.venv)$ pre-commit install
20 Before submitting pull requests, run lints and tests with the following commands from
21 the root of the black repo:
25 (.venv)$ pre-commit run -a
30 # Optional Fuzz testing
33 # Optional CI run to test your changes on many popular python projects
34 (.venv)$ black-primer [-k -w /tmp/black_test_repos]
37 ### News / Changelog Requirement
39 `Black` has CI that will check for an entry corresponding to your PR in `CHANGES.md`. If
40 you feel this PR does not require a changelog entry please state that in a comment and a
41 maintainer can add a `skip news` label to make the CI pass. Otherwise, please ensure you
42 have a line in the following format:
45 - `Black` is now more awesome (#X)
48 Note that X should be your PR number, not issue number! To workout X, please use
49 [Next PR Number](https://ichard26.github.io/next-pr-number/?owner=psf&name=black). This
50 is not perfect but saves a lot of release overhead as now the releaser does not need to
51 go back and workout what to add to the `CHANGES.md` for each release.
55 If a change would affect the advertised code style, please modify the documentation (The
56 _Black_ code style) to reflect that change. Patches that fix unintended bugs in
57 formatting don't need to be mentioned separately though.
61 If you make changes to docs, you can test they still build locally too.
64 (.venv)$ pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
65 (.venv)$ pip install [-e] .[d]
66 (.venv)$ sphinx-build -a -b html -W docs/ docs/_build/
71 `black-primer` is used by CI to pull down well-known _Black_ formatted projects and see
72 if we get source code changes. It will error on formatting changes or errors. Please run
73 before pushing your PR to see if you get the actions you would expect from _Black_ with
74 your PR. You may need to change
75 [primer.json](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/main/src/black_primer/primer.json)
76 configuration for it to pass.
78 For more `black-primer` information visit the
79 [documentation](./gauging_changes.md#black-primer).
83 If you're fixing a bug, add a test. Run it first to confirm it fails, then fix the bug,
84 run it again to confirm it's really fixed.
86 If adding a new feature, add a test. In fact, always add a test. But wait, before adding
87 any large feature, first open an issue for us to discuss the idea first.
91 Thanks again for your interest in improving the project! You're taking action when most
92 people decide to sit and watch.
