Certificate of Origin

How to Contribute

Pull Requests (PRs) are the main and exclusive way to contribute to the official project. In order for a PR to be accepted it needs to pass a list of requirements:

  • The CI style check passes (run locally with make check).
  • Code Coverage does not decrease.
  • All the tests pass.
  • Python code is formatted according to PEP8.
  • If the PR is a bug fix, it has to include a new unit test that fails before the patch is merged.
  • If the PR is a new feature, it has to come with a suite of unit tests, that tests the new functionality.
  • In any case, all the PRs have to pass the personal evaluation of at least one of the maintainers.

Format of the commit message

The commit summary must start with a capital letter and with a verb in present tense. No dot in the end.
