Contributor Guide

Thank you for your interest in contributing to fnb! This page collection covers everything you need to contribute effectively: setting up your environment, coding standards, and the day-to-day workflow for issues and merge requests.

If you're looking for maintainer-only operations (releases, PyPI publishing, repository administration), see the Maintainer Guide instead.

Pages

  • Getting Started — clone, set up your environment, run the tests, build the docs
  • Coding Standards — style, type hints, docstrings, and how to write tests
  • Workflow — issue-driven development, branching, commits, and merge requests
