bookFollow Contribution Guidelines

When you contribute to an open source project, it is essential to ensure your work aligns with the project's standards. Most projects include a CONTRIBUTING.md file at the root of the repository, which outlines steps and expectations for contributors. This file explains how to submit issues, propose changes, and details any coding conventions to follow. You may also find a code of conduct file, often named CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, which describes the expected behavior within the project's community. Reading these files carefully helps you understand not only the technical requirements but also the social norms and collaborative spirit of the project.

# Before submitting your changes, check your code style and run tests. # Many Python projects use tools like 'flake8' for style and 'pytest' for tests. # Check code style (assuming flake8 is used in the project): # In your terminal, run: # flake8 your_changed_file.py # Run project tests (assuming pytest is used): # In your terminal, run: # pytest # If the project uses unittest: import unittest # Example test discovery and running all tests in the project loader = unittest.TestLoader() suite = loader.discover('.') runner = unittest.TextTestRunner() runner.run(suite)

If you discover that your contribution does not meet the project's guidelines—perhaps your code style does not match, tests are failing, or your pull request is missing required details—the best approach is to review the feedback, revisit the CONTRIBUTING.md, and make the necessary changes. Update your branch with fixes, rerun tests, and check that all requirements are satisfied before resubmitting. This process not only increases the chance your contribution will be accepted but also demonstrates your respect for the project's standards and the time of its maintainers.
