How to contribute?

Tip

This package is part of the ComPWA Organization. For more information about how to contribute to the packages, go to compwa.github.io/develop!

To contribute to the project, you need to install the package in a virtual environment. This can be done best with uv (see installation instructions here). For this, you first need to get the source code with Git:

git clone https://github.com/ComPWA/ampform
cd ampform

Now it's simply a matter of creating and activating the virtual environment with uv sync. The dependencies for the project are 'pinned' in each commit through the uv.lock file.

uv sync --all-extras
source .venv/bin/activate

Formatting and linting checks are automatically performed when committing changes. This is done with pre-commit. To install the hooks in your local repository, run install pre-commit with uv:

uv tool install pre-commit --with pre-commit-uv --force-reinstall

and pre-commit install once:

pre-commit install --install-hooks

In addition, it may be handy to install tox:

uv tool install tox --with tox-uv

If the repository provides a Tox configuration under pyproject.toml, you can see which jobs it defines with:

tox list
