# Contributing

Welcome to `pywal`, here's how you can contribute.


### Environment Details

- Linux
- Python `3.6`


### Development Dependencies

All contributions and changes to `wal` must pass both `flake8` and `pylint` linters unless you have ample reason for disabling a specific message. Travis.ci will automatically run the tests every time you push a new commit to a Pull Request on the repo.

```py
pip install flake8 pylint
```


### Tests

Tests haven't been written yet.


### Commit Message Style

I'm not fussed if you don't follow this one too closely as I'm guilty of forgetting at times. The commit style that should be used on this repo is as follows:

```sh
# topic: Short sentence about changes. Closes #issue_number
# Example:
git commit -m "export: Added export format for emacs. Closes #11"
```


### Running `pywal`

You can run `pywal` without properly installing it by using the following command:

```sh
# From the repo directory.
python -m pywal
```
