This repository provides (or will provide, once it's a bt more complete) a central platform to host all our development guidelines and agreed coding standards for our entire stack.

These docs are hosted on Read The Docs at: http://devdocs.rehabstudio.com

In order to build and use this documentation locally you'll need a standard Python 2.7 environment set up with virtualenv (and ideally virtualenvwrapper) installed. Installing and using those tools is outside the scope of this guide, but you can find detailed guides for your platform at http://docs.python-guide.org.

For ubuntu this is as simple as sudo apt-get install python-dev virtualenvwrapper, other platforms may differ.

Simple instructions on the usage of virtualenvwrapper can be found at http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/#id3.

Contributions are welcome, and they are greatly appreciated! Every little bit helps, and credit will always be given.

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up rehabstudio/devdocs for local development.

1. Fork the rehabstudio/devdocs repo on GitHub.

2. Clone your fork locally:

   $ git clone [email protected]:your_name_here/devdocs.git
   $ cd devdocs/
   

3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development (Note that you should not need to use sudo at this point):

   $ mkvirtualenv devdocs
   $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Create a branch for local development:

   $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
   

   Now you can make your changes locally.

5. Build your new changes to test locally:

   $ make html
   

   Or if you prefer, run the included watch.sh script to continually monitor your repo for changes and rebuild as required:

   $ ./watch.sh
   

6. You can run a simple HTTP server locally (probably in another terminal) to view your changes:

   $ cd build/html && python -m SimpleHTTPServer
   

7. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

   $ git add .
   $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
   $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
   

8. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
