Get Started!
------------

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up `lemi2seed` for local development.

1. Clone the `lemi2seed` repo:

 * $ git clone https://git.passcal.nmt.edu/software_public/mt/lemi2seed.git

2. Install your local copy:

 * $ pip install -e .[dev]

3. Create a branch for local development:

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

 Now you can make your changes locally.

4. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass the
   tests:

 * $ python -m unittest

5. 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

6. Submit a merge request through the Gitlab website.

Pull Request Guidelines
-----------------------

Before you submit a merge request, check that it meets these guidelines:

1. The merge request should include tests.
2. If the merge request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put
   your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the
   feature to the list in README.rst.
3. The pull request should work for Python 3.[6,7,8]

Tips
----

To run a subset of tests, for the lemi2seed module for example, run:
  * $ python -m unittest tests/test_lemi2seed.py

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:

* $ git push
* $ git push --tags
