Development Workflow

One Time Setup

# clone the repo
git clone git@github.com:edx/edx-django-utils.git
cd edx-django-utils

# setup a virtualenv using virtualenvwrapper with the same name as the repo and activate it.
# $(basename $(pwd)) will give you the name of the current working directory, in this case ``edx-django-utils``
mkvirtualenv -p python3 $(basename $(pwd))

Every time you develop something in this repo

# Activate the virtualenv.
workon edx-django-utils

git checkout master
git pull

# Install the dev requirements
make requirements

# Run the tests
make test

# Run all the test
make test

# Commit all your changes
git commit …
git push

# Open a PR and ask for review.

Design Pattern followed by packages

All tools in edx_django_utils should expose their public api in their __init__.py files. This entails adding to __init__.py all functions/classes/constants/objects that are intended to be used by users of library.
