 xarray uses several tools to ensure a consistent code format throughout the project:

   - Test the code using `Pytest <http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/>`_. Running all tests (type ``pytest`` in the root directory) takes a while, so feel free to only run the tests you think are needed based on your PR (example: ``pytest xarray/tests/test_dataarray.py``). CI will catch any failing tests.
   - By default, the upstream dev CI is disabled on pull request and push events. You can override this behavior per commit by adding a ``[test-upstream]`` tag to the first line of the commit message. For documentation-only commits, you can skip the CI per commit by adding a ``[skip-ci]`` tag to the first line of the commit message.
