When you send your request, make ``develop`` the destination branch on the
|
||||
[Spack repository](https://github.com/LLNL/spack).
|
||||
|
||||
Before you send a PR, your code should pass the following checks:
|
||||
|
||||
* Your contribution will need to pass the `spack test` command.
|
||||
Run this before submitting your PR.
|
||||
|
||||
* Also run the `share/spack/qa/run-flake8-tests` script to check for PEP8 compliance.
|
||||
To encourage contributions and readability by a broad audience,
|
||||
Spack uses the [PEP8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) coding
|
||||
standard with [a few exceptions](https://github.com/LLNL/spack/blob/develop/.flake8).
|

|
||||
Your PR must pass Spack's unit tests and documentation tests, and must be
|
||||
[PEP 8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) compliant.
|
||||
We enforce these guidelines with [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/LLNL/spack).
|
||||
To run these tests locally, and for helpful tips on git, see our
|
||||
[Contribution Guide](http://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contribution_guide.html).

Spack uses a rough approximation of the [Git
