Contribute

Overall guidance on contributing to a PyAnsys repository appears in Contributing in the PyAnsys developer’s guide. Ensure that you are thoroughly familiar with this guide before attempting to contribute to PyAEDT or its toolkits.

The following contribution information is specific to the Magnet Segmentation Toolkit.

Clone the repository

To clone and install the latest version of the Magnet Segmentation Toolkit in development mode, run these commands:

git clone https://github.com/ansys/magnet-segmentation-toolkit.git
cd magnet-segmentation-toolkit
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e .

Post issues

Use the Magnet Segmentation Toolkit Issues page to create issues to report bugs and request new features.

View documentation

Documentation for the latest stable release is hosted at Magnet Segmentation Toolkit Documentation.

In the upper right corner of the documentation’s title bar, there is an option for switching from viewing the documentation for the latest stable release to viewing the documentation for the development version or previously released versions.

Adhere to code style

The Magnet Segmentation Toolkit is compliant with PyAnsys code style. It uses the tool pre-commit to check the code style.

You can install and activate this tool with these commands:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit run --all-files

You can also install this as a pre-commit hook with this command:

pre-commit install

This way, it’s not possible for you to push code that fails the style checks:

$ pre-commit install
$ git commit -am "Add my cool feature."

Maximum line length

Best practice is to keep the line length at or below 120 characters for code and comments. Lines longer than this might not display properly on some terminals and tools or might be difficult to follow.
