## Julia Development Environment
|
|
|
|
Link your local git repository to Julia:
|
|
```console
|
|
$ ln -s ~/path/to/TrainRuns.jl ~/.julia/dev/TrainRuns
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Have a look how to develop Julia packages: https://github.com/ShozenD/julia-pkg-dev
|
|
You might want to use `Revise.jl` as well:
|
|
```julia
|
|
Pkg.add("Revise")
|
|
```
|
|
and then just load with `using Revise` (preferably by putting it in the `~/.julia/config/startup.jl` file).
|
|
|
|
You can overide the standard TrainRuns package with the local development branch (see linking above) with:
|
|
```julia
|
|
julia> # use the ] key
|
|
(@v1.x) pkg> develop TrainRuns
|
|
(@v1.x) pkg> # use backspace
|
|
julia> using TrainRuns # local development branch will be loaded
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to add a dependency use:
|
|
```julia
|
|
julia> # use the ] key
|
|
(@v1.x) pkg> activate TrainRuns
|
|
(TrainRuns) pkg>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Files in TrainRuns
|
|
|
|
| file | concern |
|
|
| --------------- | ------------------------------ |
|
|
| TrainRuns.jl | main file and function |
|
|
| types.jl | special TrainRuns types |
|
|
| constructors.jl | type constructors |
|
|
| formulary.jl | formulars from literature |
|
|
| output.jl | transformation into DataFrames |
|

## Reporting Issues
|
|
|
|
* It's always good to start with a quick search for an existing issue to post on,
|
|
or related issues for context, before opening a new issue
|
|
* Including minimal examples is greatly appreciated
|
|
* If it's a bug, or unexpected behaviour, reproducing on the latest development version
|
|
(`Pkg.add(name="TrainRuns", rev="main")`) is a good gut check and can streamline the process,
|
|
along with including the first two lines of output from `versioninfo()`
|
|
|
|
## Style Guidelines

TODO

|
## Git Recommendations For Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
* Avoid working from the `main` branch of your fork, creating a new branch will make it
|
|
easier if TrainRuns.jl `main` branch changes and you need to update your pull request;
|
|
* All PRs and issues should be opened against the `main` branch not against the current release;
|
|
* Run tests of your code before sending any commit to GitHub. Only push changes when
|
|
the tests of the change are passing locally. In particular note that it is not a problem
|
|
if you send several commits in one push command to GitHub as CI will be run only once then;
|
|
* If any conflicts arise due to changes in TrainRuns.jl `main` branch, prefer updating your pull
|
|
request branch with `git rebase` (rather than `git merge`), since the latter will introduce a merge
|
|
commit that might confuse GitHub when displaying the diff of your PR, which makes your changes more
|
|
difficult to review. Alternatively use conflict resolution tool available at GitHub;
|
|
* Please try to use descriptive commit messages to simplify the review process;
|
|
* Using `git add -p` or `git add -i` can be useful to avoid accidently committing unrelated changes;
|
|
* Maintainers get notified of all changes made on GitHub. However, what is useful is writing a short
|
|
message after a sequence of changes is made summarizing what has changed and that the PR is ready
|
|
for a review;
|
|
* When linking to specific lines of code in discussion of an issue or pull request, hit the `y` key
|
|
while viewing code on GitHub to reload the page with a URL that includes the specific commit that
|
|
you're viewing. That way any lines of code that you refer to will still be correct in the future, even
|
|
if additional commits are pushed to the branch you are reviewing;
|
|
* Please make sure you follow the code formatting guidelines when submitting a PR;
|
|
Also preferably do not modify parts of code that you are not editing as this makes
|
|
reviewing the PR harder (it is better to open a separate maintenance PR
|
|
if e.g. code layout can be improved);
|
|
* If a PR is not finished yet and should not be reviewed yet then it should be opened as DRAFT
|
|
(in this way maintainers will know that they can ignore such PR until it is made non-draft or the author
|
|
asks for a review).
