scVI could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official scVI docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.
The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/YosefLab/scVI/issues.
If you are proposing a feature:
- Explain in detail how it would work.
- Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
- Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)
Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up scvi for local development.
Fork the scvi repo on GitHub.
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/scvi.git
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ mkvirtualenv scvi $ cd scvi/ $ python setup.py develop
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ flake8 scvi tests $ python setup.py test or py.test $ tox
To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
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
Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
- The pull request should include tests.
- 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.
- The pull request should work for Python 3.6. Check https://travis-ci.org/YosefLab/scVI/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
To run a subset of tests:
$ py.test tests.test_scvi
A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:
$ bumpversion patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags
Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
Also, make sure you've tested your code using tox by running:
$ tox
scvi is available on PyPI.
You can build and upload a new version to PyPI by running:
$ python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
$ twine upload dist/*
scvi is available on bioconda channel.
Follow the below steps to upload a new version to bioconda channel.
Create a fork of bioconda-recipes on GitHub. Then:
$ git clone https://github.com/<USERNAME>/bioconda-recipes.git
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes.git
Update repo:
$ git checkout master
$ git pull origin master
Write a recipe:
$ git checkout -b my-recipe
Push changes, wait for tests to pass, submit pull request:
$ git push -u origin my-recipe
