geocube could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official geocube docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.
The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/corteva/geocube/issues.
If you are proposing a feature:
- Explain in detail how it would work.
- Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
- Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)
Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up geocube for local development.
Fork the geocube repo on GitHub.
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/geocube.git
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ python -m venv geocube_env $ cd geocube/ $ pip install -e .[dev]
Setup pre-commit hooks:
$ pre-commit install $ pre-commit autoupdate
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8, are black formatter, and the tests pass:
$ make check $ make test
Or, if you cannot run makefile commands:
$ flake8 geocube/ test/ $ black --check . $ pytest
Commit your changes and push your branch to GitLab:
$ git add . $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes." $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
- The pull request should include tests.
- 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.rst.
- The pull request should work for Python 3.8-3.10.
To run a subset of tests:
$ pytest test/unit/cli/test_geocube.py::test_check_version
