# Contributing to Vocalinux
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Vocalinux! This document provides guidelines and instructions for contributing to the project.
## Development Environment Setup
1. Fork the repository on GitHub
2. Clone your fork locally:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/vocalinux.git
cd vocalinux
```
3. Set up the development environment:
```bash
# Install development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
# Install pre-commit hooks
pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install
```
## Pre-commit Hooks
We use pre-commit hooks to ensure code quality and consistency. These hooks automatically run before each commit to check your code against our standards.
### Pre-commit Configuration
The pre-commit configuration in `.pre-commit-config.yaml` includes:
1. **black**: Code formatter (line length: 100)
2. **isort**: Import sorter (configured to be compatible with black)
3. **flake8**: Linter with plugins for docstrings, comprehensions, and bug detection
4. **Additional checks**: Trailing whitespace, file endings, YAML/JSON validation, etc.
### Running Pre-commit Manually
You can run the pre-commit checks manually on all files:
```bash
pre-commit run --all-files
```
Or on specific files:
```bash
pre-commit run --files path/to/file1.py path/to/file2.py
```
### Bypassing Pre-commit (Emergency Only)
In emergency situations only, you can bypass pre-commit hooks:
```bash
git commit -m "Your message" --no-verify
```
However, this is strongly discouraged as it may lead to CI pipeline failures.
## Code Style Guidelines
We follow these code style conventions:
1. **PEP 8**: With modifications:
- Maximum line length: 100 characters
- Use Black formatting
2. **Docstrings**: All public methods, classes, and modules should have docstrings
3. **Imports**: Organized using isort with the following sections:
- Standard library imports
- Third-party imports
- Local application imports
4. **Type Annotations**: Use type hints where appropriate
## Testing
Write tests for all new features and bug fixes:
```bash
# Run tests
pytest
# Run tests with coverage report
pytest --cov=src
```
Aim for at least 80% test coverage for new code.
## Pull Request Process
1. Ensure all pre-commit checks pass
2. Update documentation if necessary
3. Add or update tests as needed
4. Create a pull request with a clear description of the changes
5. Link any related issues
6. Wait for code review
## Commit Message Guidelines
Follow these guidelines for commit messages:
- Use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
- Use the imperative mood ("Move cursor to..." not "Moves cursor to...")
- Limit the first line to 72 characters or less
- Reference issues and pull requests after the first line
Example:
```
Add voice command for deleting sentences
This implements the "delete that" command functionality
to remove the last sentence entered by the user.
Fixes #123
```
## Documentation
Update documentation for any new features or changes:
- Add docstrings to new functions, classes, and methods
- Update README.md or relevant docs in the docs/ directory
- Add or update code examples if applicable
