## Get Started!
Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up `unifi-protect-backup` for local development.
1. Fork the `unifi-protect-backup` repo on GitHub.
2. Clone your fork locally
```
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/unifi-protect-backup.git
```
3. Ensure [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) is installed.
4. Create virtual environment and install dependencies:
```
$ uv install --dev
```
5. Create a branch for local development:
```
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
Now you can make your changes locally.
6. To run `unifi-protect-backup` while developing you will need to either
be inside the `poetry shell` virtualenv or run it via poetry:
```
$ uv run unifi-protect-backup {args}
```
7. Install pre-commit git hooks to ensure all code commit to the repository
is formatted correctly and meets coding standards:
```
$ uv run pre-commit install
```
8. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass the
tests:
```
$ uv run pytest
```
8. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:
```
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
9. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
## Pull Request Guidelines
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
1. The pull request should include tests.
2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put
your new functionality into a function with a docstring. If adding a CLI
option, you should update the "usage" in README.md.
3. The pull request should work for Python 3.10. Check
https://github.com/ep1cman/unifi-protect-backup/actions
and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
## Tips
```
$ uv run pytest tests/test_unifi_protect_backup.py
```
To run a subset of tests.
## Deploying
A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy.
Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in CHANGELOG.md).
Then run:
```
$ uv run bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags
```
GitHub Actions will then deploy to PyPI, produce a GitHub release, and a container
build if tests pass.
