Contributing

An contribution guide for developers that are new to the smos project

  1. Clone the repository:

    $ git clone git@github.com:NorfairKing/smos.git --recursive
    

    If you've already cloned the repository but forgot about the --recursive flag, you can run this:

    $ git submodule update --init --recursive
    
  2. We use Nix for CI and deployment. Make sure you can run nix develop. This also ensures that the pre-commit hooks are installed.

  3. We use stack for development. Make sure you can run stack test smos after following the steps in the stack installation guide.

  4. Checkout the development branch:

    $ git checkout development
    
  5. Enter the nix shell

    $ nix develop
    
  6. Set up your feedback loop. When developing in a single smos package, you can use

    nix $ stack test <thepackage> --pedantic --file-watch
    

    When developing accross multiple smos packages, you can use

    nix $ stack test --pedantic --file-watch --no-rerun-tests
    

    Some feedback loops are provided, as you should have seen when you ran nix develop. You may want to check if those fit your needs first.

  7. Optionally: Set up a local hoogle server to look up code documentation for smos or its dependencies:

    nix $ hoogle serve --local
    
  8. Make your changes.

  9. Make sure the following commands succeeds locally:

    nix $ stack clean
    nix $ stack build --test --bench --no-run-benchmarks --pedantic`
    
  10. Make sure nix flake check succeeds locally.

  11. Create a pull request with NorfairKing/development as the base.
