Before Submitting An Enhancement Suggestion

debugging guide. Check out this debugging guide, which helps you to find the cause of the problem and you may fix it by yourself manually.
cursory search A cursory search is necessary to check if the reported bug has already been mentioned before or not. You can add to the existing bug report if the issue is still open.

To Submit A Good Enhancement Suggestion

GitHub issues You can track the bugs from this. For the repository that has a bug, create an issue and fill out the template to give details of the bug.

  • To identify the problem, give the issue a clear and informative term.
  • Describe in as much detail as possible to duplicate the problem. Explain the problem and explain the exact command used in the terminal that caused the bug to occur.
  • To demonstrate the steps, give specific examples. Include links to files or GitHub projects, or copy/pasteable snippets, which you use in those examples. If you're providing snippets in the issue, use Markdown code blocks.
  • Specify the problem behavior that you expected to see and why.
  • If possible, include screenshots and animated GIFs that clearly demonstrate the problem. this tool- to record GIFs on macOS and Windows, and this tool or this tool on Linux.
  • To include a crash report, add a stack trace from the operating system. For macOS, Console.app under "Diagnostic and usage information" > "User diagnostic reports" has the crash report. Include the crash report in the issue in a code block, a file attachment, or put it in a gist and provide link to that gist.
  • For performance or memory issues, include a CPU profile capture with your report.

Start Your Contribution

beginner and help-wanted issues can help you get started to making your first contribution:

  • [Beginner issues][beginner] - issues which should only require a few lines of code, and a test or two.
  • [Help wanted issues][help-wanted] - issues that should be a bit more involved than beginner issues.

Style checkers standards:

  • Use the pylance package for Python (VS code), and use black for auto-styling and auto-formatting the code.
  • Use 'pylint' for proper coding standards

  • Create a new branch to develop the project
  • Write code to contribute and commit to create a pull request.
  • Pass all the test cases that we have mentioned in the test folder and ensure the code passes the workflow checks.
  • One of the repository administrators will review the pull request and merge the changes.

Code Style Guide

  • Python language(Version 3.x) has been used to build this project repository
  • Make sure to add the functionalities in the form of modules
  • Any code that is not tested should be committed to the test codes in the code folder. After they are successfully tested, the main code can be updated.
  • Variable names should be self-explanatory
