Submit Feedback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at
https://github.com/pinterest/snappass/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

* Explain in detail how it would work.
* Note that this project has an intentionally narrow scope.
  Our target users are small organizations that really need a
  quick and dirty way to exchange secrets.
* Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions
  are welcome :)


Setting Up the Code for Local Development
-----------------------------------------

Here's how to set up `snappass` for local development.

1. Fork the `snappass` repo on GitHub.
2. Clone your fork locally::

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/snappass.git

3. Install your local copy into a ``virtualenv``. Assuming you have
   ``virtualenvwrapper`` installed, this is how you set up your fork for local
   development::

    $ mkvirtualenv snappass
    $ cd snappass/
    $ python setup.py develop

4. Create a branch for local development::

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

   Now you can make your changes locally.

5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass the tests and
   flake8::

    $ flake8 snappass tests
    $ tox

6. 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

7. Check that the test coverage hasn't dropped::

    coverage run --source snappass setup.py tests
    coverage report -m
    coverage html

8. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines
-----------------------

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

1. The pull request should include tests.
2. 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.
3. The pull request should work for Python 2.7 and 3.3+. Check
   `Travis`_ and make sure that
   the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
