How to submit changes

Open a pull request to submit changes to this project.

Your pull request needs to meet the following guidelines for acceptance:

  • The test suite must pass without errors and warnings.
  • Include unit tests.
  • If your changes add functionality, update the documentation accordingly.

To run linting and code formatting checks before committing your change, you can install pre-commit as a Git hook by running one of following commands, depending on your dependencies manager:

# conda or mamba
$ conda install pre-commit

or

$ pip install pre-commit

It is recommended to open an issue before starting work on anything. This will allow a chance to talk it over with the owners and validate your approach.
