Contributing to development

If you want to deep dive and help out with development on PyT, then first set up a development environement according to the virtual env setup guide. After that is done we suggest you have a look at tickets in our issue tracker that are labelled Easy. These are meant to be a great way to get a smooth start and won’t put you in front of the most complex parts of the system.

Procedure for adding new features:

• Pitch idea in slack
• Create issue in Github
• Develop the feature in a separate feature-branch * Feature branch names should start with the issues number and is allowed to contain letters and underscores, for instance: 12_add_new_awesome_feature * Remember to write unit tests and docstrings for your code, and if necessary documentation
• Announce finished feature as pull request
• Pull request reviewed by at least 1
• Merge to development branch when ready
• Merge into master when we all agree
