CONTRIBUTING.md

How to contribute to this project?

1. Fork the repository by clicking on the 'Fork' button on the repository's page. This creates a copy of the code under your GitHub user account.

2. Clone your fork to your local disk, and add the base repository as a remote:

   git clone [email protected]:<your Github handle>/doccano-client.git
   cd doccano-client
   git remote add upstream https://github.com/doccano/doccano-client.git

3. Create a new branch to hold your development changes:

   git checkout -b a-descriptive-name-for-my-changes

   do not work on the master branch.

4. Set up a development environment by running the following command in a virtual environment:

   poetry install
   poetry shell

5. Develop the features on your branch.

6. Format your code. Run flake8 and isort so that your newly added files look nice with the following command:

   poetry run task flake8
   poetry run task black
   poetry run task isort
   poetry run task mypy
   poetry run task test

   Or use the following command:

   make lint
   make test

7. Once you're happy with your script file, add your changes and make a commit to record your changes locally:

   git add doccano-client/<your_script_name>
   git commit

   It is a good idea to sync your copy of the code with the original repository regularly. This way you can quickly account for changes:

   git fetch upstream
   git rebase upstream/master

   Push the changes to your account using:

   git push -u origin a-descriptive-name-for-my-changes

8. Once you are satisfied, go the webpage of your fork on GitHub. Click on "Pull request" to send your to the project maintainers for review.
