We use pre-commit to maintain consistent code style. Once
installed, it will run automatically with every commit. You can also run it manually
with make lint
. If you need to make a commit that skips the pre-commit
checks, you
can do so with git commit --no-verify
.
Development Environment Setup
You can set up your dev environment with:
git clone git@github.com:ethereum/eth-rlp.git
cd eth-rlp
virtualenv -p python3 venv
. venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
pre-commit install
Release setup
To release a new version:
make release bump=$$VERSION_PART_TO_BUMP$$
How to bumpversion
The version format for this repo is {major}.{minor}.{patch}
for stable, and
{major}.{minor}.{patch}-{stage}.{devnum}
for unstable (stage
can be alpha or beta).
To issue the next version in line, specify which part to bump,
like make release bump=minor
or make release bump=devnum
. This is typically done from the
main branch, except when releasing a beta (in which case the beta is released from main,
and the previous stable branch is released from said branch).
If you are in a beta version, make release bump=stage
will switch to a stable.
To issue an unstable version when the current version is stable, specify the
new version explicitly, like make release bump="--new-version 4.0.0-alpha.1 devnum"
