# Contributing ![python_ver](https://img.shields.io/badge/Python-%3E%3D3.11-blue.svg) > First off, thank you! Please follow along. **You need to _`fork`_ this repository and _`clone`_ it onto your system.** Inside the cloned folder, create a `.env` file with the following contents (without `# comments`): ```ini INPUT_GH_TOKEN=EXAMPLE_GITHUB_PAT # required (for development) INPUT_WAKATIME_API_KEY=EXAMPLE-WAKATIME-API-KEY # required INPUT_API_BASE_URL=https://wakatime.com/api # required INPUT_REPOSITORY=GITHUB_USERNAME/REPOSITORY_NAME # required INPUT_COMMIT_MESSAGE=Updated WakaReadme graph with new metrics INPUT_SHOW_TITLE=true INPUT_SECTION_NAME=waka INPUT_BLOCKS=-> INPUT_SHOW_TIME=true INPUT_SHOW_TOTAL=true INPUT_TIME_RANGE=last_7_days INPUT_SHOW_MASKED_TIME=false INPUT_LANG_COUNT=0 INPUT_STOP_AT_OTHER=true ``` **NEVER commit this `.env` file!** ## Using containers (recommended) > Assumes that you already have latest version of either [`podman`](https://podman.io/) or [`docker`](https://www.docker.com/) (with [`compose`](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)) installed & configured. > > Replace `podman` with `docker` everywhere, if you're using the latter. ```sh # Build $ podman-compose -p waka-readme -f ./docker-compose.yml up -d # Logs $ podman logs WakaReadmeDev # Cleanup $ podman-compose -p waka-readme -f ./docker-compose.yml down ``` --- ## Using virtual environments > Assumes you've already installed & configured latest version of [python](https://www.python.org/) and [pdm](https://pdm.fming.dev/latest/). 1. Inside the cloned folder run the following commands to install dependencies ```console $ pdm install $ eval $(pdm venv activate) ``` in a virtual environnement and activate it. In windows use the following ```ps1 > Invoke-Expression (pdm venv activate) ``` to activate virtual environment. 2. To test or execute the program in development, run: ```console (waka-readme-py3_11)$ python -m unittest discover # run tests (waka-readme-py3_11)$ python -m main --dev # execute program in dev mode ```
