Development

To contribute to pymsis, you can fork the GitHub repository, add your code, and make a pull request. If you are adding additional functionality, you should also include a test with your enhancement.

Pymsis is purposefully minimal, with Numpy as the only dependency. This makes it easy for other packages to leverage the interface to the Fortran code without imposing a specific data storage or plotting framework.

A typical development workflow might look like the following:

# Install the development dependencies
pip install .[dev]

# Install the pre-commit hooks
pre-commit install

# Update the code on a feature branch
git checkout -b my-cool-feature

# Run the tests
pytest

# Commit the changes and push to your remote repository
git add my-file
git commit
git push -u origin my-cool-feature

# Go to GitHub and open a pull request!
