To get started with working on the vvm
codebase, use the following steps to prepare your local environment:
# clone the github repo and navigate into the folder
git clone https://github.com/vyperlang/vvm.git
cd vvm
# create and load a virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
# install vvm into the virtual environment
python setup.py install
# install the developer dependencies
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
We use pre-commit
hooks to simplify linting and ensure consistent formatting among contributors. Use of pre-commit
is not a requirement, but is highly recommended.
Install pre-commit
locally from the brownie root folder:
pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install
Commiting will now automatically run the local hooks and ensure that your commit passes all lint checks.
Pull requests are welcomed! Please adhere to the following:
- Ensure your pull request passes our linting checks (
tox -e lint
) - Include test cases for any new functionality
- Include any relevant documentation updates
It's a good idea to make pull requests early on. A pull request represents the start of a discussion, and doesn't necessarily need to be the final, finished submission.
If you are opening a work-in-progress pull request to verify that it passes CI tests, please consider marking it as a draft.
