hooks

This folder contains scripts that help with the development and release of natu.

The pre-commit script prevents commits if there are errors in the Python source or there are filenames with non-ASCII characters. It also adds an "UNRELEASED" markdown file in the base folder if there is no version marked in natu/init.py.

The post-checkout script removes byte-compiled Python files (*.pyc) when switching branches. Since the source may change when upon checkout, the *.pyc files should be recompiled to prevent confusion.

Other scripts (code.sh, doc.sh, etc.) are linked to git via aliases.

Installation

Copy pre-commit and post-checkout to .git/hooks/.

Add to .git/config:

[alias]
    cloc = !bash `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`/hooks/cloc.sh
    diff-ini = !bash `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`/hooks/diff-ini.sh
    pylint = !bash `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`/hooks/pylint.sh
    doc = !bash `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`/hooks/doc.sh
    code = !bash `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`/hooks/code.sh

Usage

For source code:

To clean/remove the built code (alias for setup.py clean --all):

git code clean

To build/make a distributable copy and run tests:

git code build

To release/upload a version to PyPI:

git code release

For documentation:

To clean/remove the built documentation:

git doc clean

To build/make the HTML documentation, with an option to rebuild the static images and spellcheck the pages:

git doc build

To release/publish the documentation to the GitHub webpage:

git doc release

Other:

To compare the *.ini files to their ReST tables in the documentation:

git diff-ini

To run pylint on all of the source files:

git pylint

To count the number of lines of code:

git cloc

Development workflow

All releases and updates are on the master branch. During the build process, (git code build), releases are tagged as "vmajor.minor.micro", where major, minor, and micro are the integer parts of the version number. The unreleased updates have an "UNRELEASED.md" file in the base folder with the commit date/time and the author.

The version number is recorded in natu/init.py. It is None for unreleased copies. When the documentation is built (git doc build), the download link and text is updated with information from the last tag, which corresponds to the last release.
