GitHub import a project

Import a project onto GitHub.

1. Prepare your computer for development

  1. Before you do anything else, make a backup of your local project!
  2. Check through all the folders in your local project and if any of them don't have any files in them, add a file to them. This matters when it comes time to push the changes to GitHub, because the push command won't send empty directories. A common practice is to put the empty .gitkeep file into empty directories.
  3. Grab all available operating-system updates.
  4. Update the apt database: sudo apt update
  5. Configure your git username in place of John Doe's: git config --global user.name "John"

    • 🛑 Can use some legacy documentation, but some naming conventions changed.

AutoKey run tox tests

AutoKey run tox tests

We don't have a tox.ini file and it may be necessary. From what I've been able to find out online:

  • The setup.cfg and setup.py files are for building distributions.
  • The tox.ini file is for running tests in virtual environments that are created on-the-fly.

In reference to the official AutoKey documentation at https://autokey.github.io/autokey/ Silico_Biomancer (AKA BlueDrink9) said: Iirc on the branch with the docs changes, if you run something like tox -e docs it should re-generate the files. Should be documented, but probably only on that branch's readme or CONTRIBUTORS.rst atm

Run tox using the version of Python in PATH:

tox -e py

AutoKey run in different ways

AutoKey run in different ways

Before you begin

The testing methods below can be done inside of a terminal window on a machine that has AutoKey already installed on it (in fact, that's recommended since it will likely provide you with all of the necessary dependencies in advance).

🛑 🛑 🛑 🛑 🛑 🛑
It's important to note that lthough each instance of AutoKey will be independent, the AutoKey configuration from your installed copy of AutoKey will be used, which means all of these tests will have full access to your phrases and scripts and changes you make to those while testing will affect your installed version of AutoKey as well.

Test AutoKey by cloning the repository
