This project includes a nox configuration to automate checks and other functions.
You should use nox to run checks locally before you submit a pull request.
Install nox using python3 -m pip install nox or your distribution's package manager.
Run nox --list from the repository root to view available sessions.
Run nox with no arguments to execute the default sessions.
This repository uses codespell to check for common spelling mistakes in the documentation source.
Run nox -s spelling to check spelling.
Run nox -s spelling -- -w to correct spelling errors.
When codespell suggests more than one word as a correction, run nox -s spelling -- -w -i 3 to select an option.
To update dependencies, you can use nox -e pip-compile. Since this requires Python 3.10, this might not work in your environment if you do not have Python 3.10 installed. In that case, you can use root-less podman with a Python 3.10 image:
podman run --rm --tty --volume "$(pwd):/mnt:z" --workdir /mnt python:3.10 bash -c 'pip install nox ; nox -e pip-compile'
