| 3a8c85 | 36 | |
| SP | 37 | Prerequisites |
| 38 | ------------- | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | Follow the instructions in HACKING.txt for your version or branch located in | |
| 41 | the [root of the Pyramid repository](https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/) to | |
| 42 | install Pyramid and the tools needed to run its tests and build its | |
| 43 | documentation. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | Building documentation for a Pylons Project project | |
| 46 | --------------------------------------------------- | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | *Note:* These instructions might not work for Windows users. Suggestions to | |
| 49 | improve the process for Windows users are welcome by submitting an issue or a | |
| 50 | pull request. Windows users may find it helpful to follow the guide [Installing | |
| 51 | Pyramid on a Windows | |
| 52 | System](http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/narr/install.html#installing-pyramid-on-a-windows-system). | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | 1. Fork the repo on GitHub by clicking the [Fork] button. | |
| 55 | 2. Clone your fork into a workspace on your local machine. | |
| 56 | ||
| 44d930 | 57 | git clone git@github.com:<username>/pyramid.git |
| 3a8c85 | 58 | |
| 5660f2 | 59 | 3. Change directories into the cloned repository |
| 981004 | 60 | |
| C | 61 | cd pyramid |
| 62 | ||
| 5660f2 | 63 | 4. Add a git remote "upstream" for the cloned fork. |
| 3a8c85 | 64 | |
| SP | 65 | git remote add upstream git@github.com:Pylons/pyramid.git |
| 66 | ||
| 5660f2 | 67 | 5. Create a virtual environment and set an environment variable as instructed in the |
| 3a8c85 | 68 | [prerequisites](https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/blob/master/HACKING.txt#L55-L58). |
| SP | 69 | |
| 70 | # Mac and Linux | |
| 71 | $ export VENV=~/hack-on-pyramid/env | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | # Windows | |
| 74 | set VENV=c:\hack-on-pyramid\env | |
| 75 | ||
| 5660f2 | 76 | 6. Install `tox` into your virtual environment. |
| 981004 | 77 | |
| C | 78 | $ $VENV/bin/pip install tox |
| 79 | ||
| 5660f2 | 80 | 7. Try to build the docs in your workspace. |
| 3a8c85 | 81 | |
| 981004 | 82 | $ $VENV/bin/tox -e docs |
| 3a8c85 | 83 | |
| 981004 | 84 | When the build finishes, you'll find HTML documentation rendered in |
| C | 85 | `.tox/docs/html`. An `epub` version will be in `.tox/docs/epub`. And the |
| 86 | result of the tests that are run on the documentation will be in | |
| 87 | `.tox/docs/doctest`. | |
| 3a8c85 | 88 | |
| 5660f2 | 89 | 8. From this point forward, follow the typical [git |
| 44d930 | 90 | workflow](https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-a-good-git-workflow/). |
| 981004 | 91 | *Always* start by pulling from the upstream to get the most current changes. |
| 3a8c85 | 92 | |
| SP | 93 | git pull upstream master |
| 94 | ||
| 5660f2 | 95 | 9. Make a branch, make changes to the docs, and rebuild them as indicated above. |
| 3a8c85 | 96 | |
| 5660f2 | 97 | 10. Once you are satisfied with your changes and the documentation builds |
| SP | 98 | successfully without errors or warnings, then git commit and push them to |
| 99 | your "origin" repository on GitHub. | |
| 3a8c85 | 100 | |
| SP | 101 | git commit -m "commit message" |
| 102 | git push -u origin --all # first time only, subsequent can be just 'git push'. | |
| 103 | ||
| 5660f2 | 104 | 11. Create a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/). |
| 3a8c85 | 105 | |
| 5660f2 | 106 | 12. Repeat the process starting from Step 8. |
