Workflow (Linux)

Installation

Clone GitHub repository:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/KDSource/KDSource
git remote add origin https://github.com/KDSource/KDSource

Install C and command line APIs:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/kdsourceinstall
make install
cd ..

Install Python API:

cd python
pip install .
cd ..

To have KDSource command line tool in your path execute (or add to ~/.profile and update with source ~/.profile):

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/install/bin

Development

Create and switch to feature branch:

git pull origin master
git branch newfeature
git switch newfeature

Here you can modify, delete or create files in the working tree.

Testing

Test C and command line APIs:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
make test
cd ..

Test Python API:

tox -r -c python

Check documentation:

sphinx-build -b html docs/source docs/html

The HTML files will be built in docs/html.

Contribution

Save your work in feature branch:

git status
git add -u
git add [new-files]
git git commit
git push origin newfeature

Merge chanches to master branch:

git rebase [-i] master
git switch master
git merge newfeature
git push origin master

Delete feature branch:

git branch -d newfeature
git push origin -d newfeature
