You can contribute in many ways:

Types of Contributions

Report Bugs

Report bugs at https://github.com/IDSIA/sacred/issues.

If you are reporting a bug, please include:

  • Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.

Fix Bugs

Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with "bug" is open to whoever wants to fix it.

Implement Features

Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with "feature" is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation

Sacred could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official Sacred docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/IDSIA/sacred/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.
  • Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
  • Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Get Started!

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

  1. Fork the sacred repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/sacred.git

  3. 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, check that your changes pass style and unit tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ tox

To get tox, just pip install it.

  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.

Pull Request Guidelines

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

1. Pull requests should be made on their own branch or against master. 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 add the feature to the list in README.rst.
  1. The pull request should work for Python 2.7 and >3.3. Check https://travis-ci.org/IDSIA/sacred/pull_requests for active pull requests or run the tox command and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
