Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with "enhancement"
and "help wanted" is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TorchIO could always use more documentation, whether as part of the
official TorchIO docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts,
articles, and such.

Submit Feedback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/fepegar/torchio/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

* Explain in detail how it would work.
* Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
* Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions
  are welcome :)

Get Started!
------------

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up ``torchio`` for local development.

1) Create an issue about it on the GitHub repo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's good practice to first discuss the proposed changes as the feature might
already be implemented.

2) Fork the ``torchio`` repo on GitHub
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3) Clone your fork locally
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: bash

    git clone git@github.com:your_github_username_here/torchio.git
    cd torchio

4) Install your local copy into a virtual environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you use ``conda``, this is how you can set up your fork for local development::

    conda create --name torchioenv python --yes
    conda activate torchioenv
    pip install --editable .
    pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
    pre-commit install

5) Create a branch for local development using the issue number
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For example, if the issue nu ber is 55::

    git checkout -b 55-name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Now you can make your changes locally.

6) Run unit tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass the tests
using ``pytest``::

    pytest -x

7) Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

messages <https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit>`_, and `here's some
more <https://medium.com/@joshuatauberer/write-joyous-git-commit-messages-2f98891114c4>`_)::

    git add .
    git commit -m "Fix nasty bug"
    git push origin 55-name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

8) Submit a pull request on GitHub
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
