Development

To set up for development:

2. Clone your fork (replace YOUR-USERNAME with your GitHub username):

   git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/httpx-retries.git
   cd httpx-retries
   

3. Add the original repository as a remote to sync latest changes:

   git remote add upstream https://github.com/will-ockmore/httpx-retries.git
   

4. Install dependencies:

   uv sync
   

Running Tests

Run the test suite:

./scripts/test

This will run the tests with coverage reporting.

Code Quality

We use several tools to maintain code quality. Run all checks with:

./scripts/check

This runs:

• ruff - For code formatting and linting
• mypy - For type checking

Documentation

Documentation is built using MkDocs. To preview locally:

mkdocs serve

Then visit http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser.

Pull Requests

To submit changes:

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a new branch for your changes
3. Make your changes
4. Run tests and code quality checks
5. Submit a pull request

We aim to review pull requests promptly and provide constructive feedback if needed.

Releasing

This section is for maintainers only.

To release a new version:

1. Update version in pyproject.toml following Semantic versioning (for example: 0.2.4)
2. Update CHANGELOG.md, following Keep a Changelog
3. Create a new release on GitHub:
4. Tag version like 0.2.4
5. Title 0.2.4
6. Description copied from the changelog
7. The GitHub release will automatically trigger a PyPI publish

If the PyPI publish fails, you can manually publish using:

./scripts/publish
