Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up rimager for local development.

  1. Fork the rimager repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/rimager.git

  3. Install your local copy with install():

    cd rimager/
install()

  4. Create a branch for local development:

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

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass the tests by running test():

    library(testthat)
load_all()
test()

  6. 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

  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

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

  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.md.

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy:

  • Ensure the following secrets are recorded on GitHub:
    • CODECOV_TOKEN
    • PYPI_USERNAME
    • PYPI_PASSWORD

GitHub Actions should build and deploy to testPyPI when a pull request is merged into master.
