Propose an idea 💡

Have an idea for a new pewanalytics feature? Take a look at the issue list to see if it isn't included or suggested yet. If not, suggest your idea as an issue on GitHub. While we can't promise to implement your idea, it helps to:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.
  • Keep the scope as narrow as possible.

See below if you want to contribute code for your idea as well.

  • Your operating system name and version (e.g. macOS 10.13.6).
  • Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.

Development guidelines

We try to follow the GitHub flow for development, and we use Python docstrings and Sphinx to document all of our code.

  1. Fork this repo and clone it to your computer. To learn more about this process, see this guide.
  2. If you have forked and cloned the project before and it has been a while since you worked on it, pull changes from the original repo to your clone by using git pull upstream master.
  3. Make your changes:
    • Write your code.
    • Test your code (bonus points for adding unit tests).
    • Document your code (see function documentation above).
  4. If you added unit tests, make sure everything works by running the python -m unittest tests command from the root directory of the repository.
  5. If you added or updated documentation, build a fresh version of the docs by running the make github command from the root directory of the repository.
  6. Commit and push your changes.
  7. Submit a pull request.
