Installation
------------

.. code:: shell

    pip install template[all]


This will install Template along with the dependencies for all of the filters
available with it. However, you can use narrower specifiers if you want to avoid
a specific dependency (the filters listed below include the needed specifier).
In previous releases of Template all of the dependencies were required. To not
break existing templates, for the foreseeable future those dependencies will
remain a requirement and new dependencies for specific filters will be optional.
This will change in the 0.9 release where all filter specific dependencies will
be optional. Please update your project before that happens.

Testing
-------

Tests require Pipenv_ and
`Bats <https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core>`_. Run the tests with the
nimrod's avatar
nimrod committed
following commands:

.. code:: shell

   pipenv run lint  # Pre-commit hooks.
   pipenv run doctest  # Doc tests.
   pipenv run bats  # Bats tests.

   pipenv run check  # Twine check.

Also, GitLab CI is setup for this project so every push to this repository is
checked with all Python 2.7, Python 3.6 and later and all supported versions of
PyPy.
Release requires Pipenv_ and Python 3.6 or later. To bump the version run
nimrod's avatar
nimrod committed
:code:`pipenv run bumpversion major|minor|patch` to update the version and git
commit and tag the changes, then run :code:`git push --follow-tags` to push the
git commit and tag. The GitLab CI will then build and upload a release to PyPI.
To manually upload to PyPI run :code:`pipenv run build` to build the Python
package and :code:`pipenv run upload -s dist/*` to upload a signed version.
