We welcome anyone interested in contributing to this project, be it with new
ideas, suggestions, by filing bug reports or contributing code to our `GitHub
repository <https://github.com/PyPSA/PyPSA-Eur>`_.

* If you already have some code changes, you can submit them directly as a `pull request <https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur/pulls>`_.
* If you are wondering where we would greatly appreciate your efforts, check out the ``help wanted`` tag in the `issues list <https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur/issues>`_ and initiate a discussion there.
* If you start working on a feature in the code, let us know by opening an issue or a draft pull request.
This helps all of us to keep an overview on what is being done and helps to avoid a situation where we
are doing the same work twice in parallel.

For linting, formatting and checking your code contributions
against our guidelines (e.g. we use `Black <https://github.com/psf/black>`_ as code style
use `pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/index.html>`_:
1. Installation ``mamba install -c conda-forge pre-commit`` or ``pip install pre-commit``
2. Usage:
* To automatically activate ``pre-commit`` on every ``git commit``: Run ``pre-commit install``
* To manually run it: ``pre-commit run --all``
.. note::
Note that installing ``pre-commit`` locally is not strictly necessary. If you create a Pull Request the ``pre-commit CI`` will be triggered automatically and take care of the checks.
For all code contributions we follow the four eyes principle (two person principle), i.e. all suggested code
2023-06-02 14:59:06 +00:00
including our own are reviewed by a second person before they are incorporated into our repository.
