Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.md.

TODO: Set up Travis:

  1. The pull request should work for Python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/anelendata/handoff/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.md). Then run:

$ bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch $ git push $ git push –tags

TODO: Set up Travis so it will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
