Bigger changes

If you want to make a bigger change, it’s a good idea to first file an issue and make sure someone from the team agrees that it’s needed.

If you’ve found a bug, please file an issue that illustrates the bug with a minimal reproducible example (reprex for R, or reprexpy for Python).

Pull request process

  • Fork the package and clone onto your computer
  • Create a Git branch for your pull request (PR)
  • Make your changes, commit to git, and then create a pull request.
    • The title of your PR should briefly describe the change.
    • The body of your PR should contain Fixes #issue-number.
  • For user-facing changes, add a bullet to the changelog file if there is one. This should be NEWS.md for an R package, and likely Changelog.md or Changelog.rst for a Python package.

Code style

  • New code for R and Python packages should follow our style guide.
