We encourage everyone +to have a go forking and modifying the Strawberry Fields source code.

You can also test individual backends by running - `make test-backendname`. For example, if you only make changes corresponding to the Gaussian backend, you can run `make test-gaussian`. -* **Make sure the modified code in the pull request conforms to the PEP8 coding standard.** The Strawberry Fields source code - conforms to [PEP8 standards](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/). We check all of our code against - [Pylint](https://www.pylint.org/). To lint modified files, simply install `pip install pylint`, and then from the source code - directory, run `pylint strawberryfields/path/to/file.py`. - -### Submitting the pull request -* When ready, submit your fork as a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests) to the Strawberry - Fields repository, filling out the [pull request template](./PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md). This template is added automatically - to the comment box when you create a new issue. - -* When describing the pull request, please include as much detail as possible regarding the changes made/new features - added/performance improvements. If including any bug fixes, mention the issue numbers associated with the bugs. - -* Once you have submitted the pull request, three things will automatically occur: - - - The **test suite** will automatically run on [GitHub actions](https://github.com/XanaduAI/strawberryfields/actions?query=workflow%3ATests) - to ensure that the all tests continue to pass. - - Once the test suite is finished, a **code coverage report** will be generated on - [Codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/XanaduAI/strawberryfields). This will calculate the percentage of Strawberry Fields - covered by the test suite, to ensure that all new code additions are adequately tested. - - Finally, the **code quality** is calculated by [Codacy](https://app.codacy.com/app/XanaduAI/strawberryfields/dashboard), - to ensure all new code additions adhere to our code quality standards. - - Based on these reports, we may ask you to make small changes to your branch before merging the pull request into the master branch. Alternatively, you can also - [grant us permission to make changes to your pull request branch](https://help.github.com/articles/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork/). - -## I've made a contribution!
