| | | Older branches are not actively maintained. In general, two stable branches and |
| | | one or two development branches are actively maintained. |
| | | |
| | | ## Prerequisites |
| | | ## Developing |
| | | |
| | | Follow the instructions in HACKING.txt for your version or branch located in |
| | | the [root of the Pyramid repository](https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/) to |
| | | install Pyramid and the tools needed to run its tests and build its |
| | | documentation. |
| | | |
| | | ## Building documentation for a Pylons Project project |
| | | |
| | | *Note:* These instructions might not work for Windows users. Suggestions to |
| | | improve the process for Windows users are welcome by submitting an issue or a |
| | | pull request. Windows users may find it helpful to follow the guide [Installing |
| | | Pyramid on a Windows |
| | | System](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/narr/install.html#installing-pyramid-on-a-windows-system). |
| | | |
| | | 1. Fork the repo on GitHub by clicking the [Fork] button. |
| | | 2. Clone your fork into a workspace on your local machine. |
| | | |
| | | git clone git@github.com:<username>/pyramid.git |
| | | |
| | | 3. Change directories into the cloned repository |
| | | |
| | | cd pyramid |
| | | |
| | | 4. Add a git remote "upstream" for the cloned fork. |
| | | |
| | | git remote add upstream git@github.com:Pylons/pyramid.git |
| | | |
| | | 5. Create a virtual environment and set an environment variable as instructed in the |
| | | [prerequisites](https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/blob/master/HACKING.txt#L55-L58). |
| | | |
| | | # Mac and Linux |
| | | $ export VENV=~/hack-on-pyramid/env |
| | | |
| | | # Windows |
| | | set VENV=c:\hack-on-pyramid\env |
| | | |
| | | 6. Install `tox` into your virtual environment. |
| | | |
| | | $ $VENV/bin/pip install tox |
| | | |
| | | 7. Try to build the docs in your workspace. |
| | | |
| | | $ $VENV/bin/tox -e docs |
| | | |
| | | When the build finishes, you'll find HTML documentation rendered in |
| | | `.tox/docs/html`. An `epub` version will be in `.tox/docs/epub`. And the |
| | | result of the tests that are run on the documentation will be in |
| | | `.tox/docs/doctest`. |
| | | |
| | | 8. From this point forward, follow the typical [git |
| | | workflow](https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-a-good-git-workflow/). |
| | | *Always* start by pulling from the upstream to get the most current changes. |
| | | |
| | | git pull upstream master |
| | | |
| | | 9. Make a branch, make changes to the docs, and rebuild them as indicated above. |
| | | |
| | | 10. Once you are satisfied with your changes and the documentation builds |
| | | successfully without errors or warnings, then git commit and push them to |
| | | your "origin" repository on GitHub. |
| | | |
| | | git commit -m "commit message" |
| | | git push -u origin --all # first time only, subsequent can be just 'git push'. |
| | | |
| | | 11. Create a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/). |
| | | |
| | | 12. Repeat the process starting from Step 8. |
| | | Follow the instructions in [HACKING.txt](https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/blob/master/HACKING.txt) to install Pyramid and the tools needed to run its tests and build its documentation. |
