Contributing to the Gandi CLi

We have decided not to continue to maintain the CLI project. The existing project will remain as-is. Anyone interested in taking over and forking the project can let us know and we can inform our users and/or link to it.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our team.

Sincerely,

The Gandi.net team

Topics

Reporting issues

A great way to contribute to the project is to send a detailed report when you encounter an issue. We always appreciate a well-written, thorough bug report, and will thank you for it!

When reporting issues on GitHub please include your host OS (Ubuntu 12.04, Fedora 19, etc). Please include:

  • The output of uname -a.
  • The output of gandi --version.

Please also include the steps required to reproduce the problem if possible and applicable. This information will help us review and fix your issue faster.

Improving documentation

Improvements to the Gandi CLI documentation are welcome.

Adding features

Quickstart

<Fork the project on GitHub>
$ git clone <your fork>
$ cd gandi.cli
$ git checkout <name of your feature>
$ virtualenv .
$ source bin/activate
$ pip install .

Make your changes, test them, and submit a PR!

Code conventions

To add a new command to the CLI:

First, check if there's an existing namespace to either add a command or an option to an already existing one.

Each command is composed of 2 python files, located in the commands/ and modules/ directories:

  • commands/ contains everything that is related to shell arguments, parameter validation, default values,
  • modules/ contains code that uses the Gandi API and can be used by other python scripts, or in the python shell,
  • packages/ contains packaging code (see packages/README.rst)

Code must follow PEP8 recommendations.

Docstrings should follow PEP257 recommendations.

Contribution Guidelines

Create issues

Any major changes should be documented as a GitHub issue before you start working on it.

Proposing your changes

Don't hesitate--we appreciate every contribution, no matter how small.

Create a git branch with your new feature or bugfix and either (in order of preference):

  • open a Pull Request on GitHub
  • mail the patch to feedback@gandi.net,
  • send the URL for your branch and we will review/merge it if correct

We'll check your pull requests in the timeliest manner possible. If we can't accept your PR for some reason, we'll give you feedback and you're encouraged to try again!

Submission conventions

Fork the repository and make changes on your fork in a feature branch:

  • If it's a bug fix branch, name it XXXX-something where XXXX is the number of the issue.
  • If it's a feature branch, create an enhancement issue to announce your intentions, and name it XXXX-something where XXXX is the number of the issue.

Tests

Submit unit tests for your changes. Run the full test suite on your branch before submitting a pull request. #TODO
