Get Started!Ā¶

Ready to contribute? Hereā€™s how to set up django-serverless-cron for local development.

  1. Fork the django-serverless-cron repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/django-serverless-cron.git

  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv django-serverless-cron
$ cd django-serverless-cron/
$ python setup.py develop

  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When youā€™re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8 django_serverless_cron tests
$ python setup.py test
$ tox

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request GuidelinesĀ¶

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.rst.

  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/paulonteri/django-serverless-cron/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
