If you’re submitting patches to pagure, please observe the following:

- Check that your python code is PEP8-compliant. There is a flake8 tool that automatically checks the sources as part of the tests.

- We run the source code through black as part of the tests, so you may have to do some adjustments or run it yourself (which is simple: `black /path/to/pagure`).

- Check that your code doesn’t break the test suite. The test suite can be run using `tox` at the top of the sources, you mayuse `tox -e py38 ./test/` to run a single version of python. You can also run a single file by calling pytest directly: `pytest-3 tests/test_style.py`. See Development for more information about the test suite.

- If you are adding new code, please write tests for them in `tests/`, `tox .` will run the tests and show you the coverage of the code by the unit-tests.

- If your change warrants a modification to the docs in `doc/` or any docstrings in `pagure/` please make that modification.

Note

You have a doubt, you don’t know how to do something, you have an idea but don’t know how to implement it, you just have something bugging you?

Come to see us on IRC: `#pagure` or `#fedora-apps` on irc.freenode.net or directly on the project.
