Development

git clone https://github.com/awesome-panel/panel-copy-paste
cd panel-copy-paste

For a simple setup use uv:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # on linux. Similar commands for windows and osx
uv pip install -e .[dev]
pre-commit run install
pytest tests

For the full setup used by Github Actions use pixi:

pixi run pre-commit-install
pixi run postinstall
pixi run test

This repository is based on copier-template-panel-extension. To update to the latest template version run:

pixi exec --spec copier --spec ruamel.yaml -- copier update --defaults --trust

Note: copier will show Conflict for files with manual changes during an update. This is normal. As long as there are no merge conflict markers, all patches applied cleanly.
