HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
=================

UIP is in its very early development stage, you can go over the issues on the
github issues page and send in a PR.

your commits in the PR should be of the form:

```
shortlog: commit message

commit body
Fixes <issue number>
```

where short log is the area/filename where you make the change
commit message is the very brief description of the change made by you and any
other additional details go into the commit body.

TESTING
=======

While developing, to test, you should first install the test-requirements
by running:

```
pip install -r test-requirements.txt
```
then test your work by the command:
```
pytest
```
If you want to lint your files you can run
```
coala
```
and commit all changes suggested

Do remember to keep your master branch updated at all times
and always work on a different branch.

Happy coding :)
