Docstrings shall start and end with “”” and use Google style.
Use pytest as testing engine
Code shall be be Python 3.8+ compliant

Linting

  ruff check . && ruff format . --check

The pylint is rather strict and sometimes excpetions are needed… , but anyway quite useful!

  python -m pylint mycode.py

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up fmu-config for local development.

Fork the fmu-config repo in web browser to a personal fork

Clone your fork locally:

    git clone git@github.com:<your-user>/fmu-config.git
    cd fmu-config
    git remote add upstream git@github.com:equinor/fmu-config.git

This means your origin is now your personal fork, while the actual master is at upstream.

Then create a virtual environment and install

    python -m venv <your-venv>
    source <your-venv>/bin/activate
    pip install ".[dev]"
