Submitting issues, answering questions, and improving documentation are some of the many ways you can join our growing community. Regardless of how you contribute, please remember to be respectful towards your fellow Towheeians.
The Towhee community maintains a list of Good First Issues.
Pipeline and operator contributions to our Towhee Hub are just as valued as artwork, code, and documentation contributions. If you have a new model, useful script, or an x2vec
pipeline that you'd like to share with the Towhee community, get in touch with us!
Please follow the templates we provide for submitting bugs, enhancements, and/or feature requests; try to avoid opening blank issues whenever possible.
We generally follow the Google Python style guide - this applies to the main towhee-io/towhee
repo on Github as well as code uploaded to our Towhee Hub. We have some special rules regarding line length, imports, and whitespace - please take a look at the Towhee style guide for more information.
We follow a fork-and-pull model for all contributions. Before starting, we strongly recommend looking through existing PRs so you can get a feel for things.
If you're interested in contributing to the towhee-io/towhee
codebase, follow these steps:
-
Fork Towhee. If you've forked Towhee already, simply fetch the latest changes from upstream.
-
Clone your forked version of Towhee.
$ git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/towhee.git
$ cd towhee
If you've done this step before, make sure you're on the main
branch and sync your changes.
$ git checkout main
$ git pull origin main
- Think up a suitable name for your update, bugfix, or feature. Try to avoid using branch names you've already used in the past.
$ git checkout -b my-creative-branch-name
- During development, you might want to run
pylint
or one of the tests. You can do so with one of the commands below:
$ pylint --rcfile pylint.conf
$ pytest tests/unittests/<test_case>.py
- If you're contributing a bugfix or docfix, squash your previous
N
commits. The interactive rebase functionality provided by git will walk you through the commit squashing process.
$ git rebase -i HEAD~N
P.S. Don't forget to commit your changes! We use a single-phrase, periodless format for commit messages (be sure to capitalize the first character):
$ git commit -m "My awesome commit message"
- Submit your pull request on Github. Folks in the community will discuss your pull request, and maintainers might ask you for some changes. This happens very frequently (including maintainers themselves), so don't worry if it happens to you as well.
Note that Towhee uses DCOs to sign pull requests. Please ensure that the first line of your PR is as follows: Signed-off-by: Your Name [email protected]
