Contributing

We use optimistic merging so you don't have to worry too much about formatting the code, pleasing the linters or making sure all the test pass.

That being said, if you want, you can install just and use it to check your changes automatically. Just run just to see available tasks.

Making a new release

  • Create a token on pypi : see pypi help for details.
  • Install tbump and use it to bump cli-ui to the new version.

Uploading documentation

Run:

just deploy-doc
