Contributing to helixml/run-python-helix-app

This guide outlines the process for contributing to the helixml/run-python-helix-app project.

Understanding the Project

The helixml/run-python-helix-app project is written in Python and aims to provide a robust framework for running Python-based applications within a Helix environment.

Contributing

The following steps provide a general approach to contributing to the project:

  1. Fork the Repository: Create a fork of the helixml/run-python-helix-app repository on GitHub. This creates a copy of the repository under your own account, allowing you to make changes without directly affecting the original.
  2. Clone Your Fork: Clone the forked repository to your local machine using Git.
  3. Create a Branch: Before making any changes, create a new branch from the main branch. This helps to isolate your contributions and facilitates easier merging later.
  4. Make Changes: Implement your changes within the newly created branch.
  5. Test Thoroughly: Run the test suite using the test command to ensure your changes don’t introduce any regressions.
  6. Commit Your Changes: Stage and commit your changes using Git. Write clear and concise commit messages describing the changes you made.
  7. Push Your Branch: Push your changes to your forked repository on GitHub.
  8. Open a Pull Request: Create a pull request from your branch to the main branch of the original helixml/run-python-helix-app repository.
  9. Collaborate and Review: Engage with the project maintainers and other contributors by responding to comments and addressing any feedback provided.
  10. Merge Your Changes: Once the pull request is reviewed and approved, it will be merged into the main branch of the project.

Additional Information

While the project does not have a dedicated contributing guide, the following commands may be available for use:

  • build: Assembles the application components for deployment. This command may be used to create a deployable package of the application.
  • run: Executes the application locally. This can be used for testing and development purposes.
  • test: Executes the test suite to ensure the application is working as expected.
  • deploy: Publishes the application to a production environment.
  • install: Installs dependencies required by the application.

This information can be used to guide your development process and ensure your contributions are aligned with the project’s goals.
