### Branch Overview
After restarting development on version 3, we decided to restrict commits to certain branches in order to push the development forward.
To give you a flavour of what we mean, here are some examples of what PRs go where:
**v3**:
- any kind of refactoring
- better documentation
- enhancements
- code styles
**master (v2)**:
- bug fixes
- deprecations
- new endpoints (until we release v3)
- basic functionality
Just choose v3 if you are unsure which branch to work on.
### Create virtual environment, install dependencies, run tests
```bash
$ virtualenv --python=python3 env
$ source env/bin/activate
(env) $ pip install -e .
(env) $ python -m unittest discover -v tests
```
### Lint
pip install ".[test]"
To automatically fix some of the code style:
autopep8 --in-place --aggressive --recursive .
To verify the code style:
flake8 .
To make sure if the import lists are stored correctly:
isort . -c
Sort them automatically with:
isort .
