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

Clone your fork locally:

$ git clone git@github.com:your_github_username_here/pytest-merge-xml.git

Create a virtual environment and activate it:

$ python -m virtualenv .env

$ .env\Scripts\activate  # For Windows
$ source .env/bin/activate  # For Linux

Install the development dependencies for setting up your fork for local development:
```
$ cd pytest_merge_xml/
$ pip install -e .[testing,docs]
```
Note

If you use conda, you can install virtualenv in the root environment:
```
$ conda install -n root virtualenv
```
Don't worry as this is safe to do.
Install pre-commit:
```
$ pre-commit install
```
Create a branch for local development:
```
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you're done making changes, run the tests:
```
$ pytest
```
If you want to check the modification made on the documentation, you can generate the docs locally:
```
$ tox -e docs
```
The documentation files will be generated in docs/_build.

Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
