Involvement from the trading community is a goal for this project, and all help is welcome! To contribute, follow these steps:
-
Open an issue on GitHub to discuss your proposed changes or enhancements.
-
Once everyone is on the same page, take a fork of the develop branch (or ensure all upstream changes are merged).
-
Install and set up pre-commit to ensure that the pre-commit hook is picked up on your local machine. This will automatically run various checks, auto-formatters, and linting tools.
-
It is recommended to install Redis using the default configuration so that integration tests will pass on your machine.
-
Open a pull request (PR) on the
develop
branch with a summary comment. -
The CI system will run the full test-suite over your code including all unit and integration tests, so include appropriate tests with the PR.
-
Codacy will perform an automated code review. Fix any issues which cause a failed check, and add the commit to your PR.
-
You will also be required to sign a standard Contributor License Agreement (CLA), which is administered automatically through CLA Assistant.
-
We will review your code as quickly as possible and may provide feedback on needed changes before merging.
- Follow the established coding practices outlined in the Developer Guide.
- Keep PR's small and focused.
- Reference the related GitHub issue(s) in the PR comment.
