Contributing

The saltext-github project team welcomes contributions from the community.

The Salt Contributing guide has a lot of relevant information, but if you'd like to jump right in here's how to get started:

# Clone the repo
git clone --origin salt git@github.com:salt-extensions/saltext-github.git

# Change to the repo dir
cd saltext-github

# Create a new venv
python3 -m venv env --prompt saltext-github
source env/bin/activate

# On mac, you may need to upgrade pip
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

# On WSL or some flavors of linux you may need to install the `enchant`
# library in order to build the docs
sudo apt-get install -y enchant

# Install extension + test/dev/doc dependencies into your environment
python -m pip install -e '.[tests,dev,docs]'

# Run tests!
python -m nox -e tests-3

# skip requirements install for next time
export SKIP_REQUIREMENTS_INSTALL=1

# Build the docs, serve, and view in your web browser:
python -m nox -e docs && (cd docs/_build/html; python -m webbrowser localhost:8000; python -m http.server; cd -)

Writing code isn't the only way to contribute! We value contributions in any of these areas:

• Documentation - especially examples of how to use this module to solve specific problems.
• Triaging issues and participating in discussions
• Reviewing Pull Requests (we really like Conventional Comments!)

You could also contribute in other ways:

• Writing blog posts
• Posting on social media about how you used Salt + GitHub to solve your problems, including videos
• Giving talks at conferences
• Publishing videos
• Asking/answering questions in IRC, Discord or email groups

Any of these things are super valuable to our community, and we sincerely appreciate every contribution!

For more information, build the docs and head over to http://localhost:8000/ — that's where you'll find the rest of the documentation.
