Example GRASS GIS Addon

This Repository contains a GRASS GIS addon including all meta files like github workflows, linter configs, test setup etc. When starting a new vector related GRASS GIS addon, it is recommended to use this repository as a starting point.

See also common GRASS GIS addon methods which can be reused when writing your own addon.

Use pre-commit

It is highly recommended to install and use pre-commit before submitting any new or modified code or any other content. The pre-commit Git hooks set checks validity and executes automated formatting for a range of file formats, including Python. Pre-commit installs all necessary tools in a virtual environment upon first use.

If you never used pre-commit before, you must start by installing it on your system. You only do it once:

python -m pip install pre-commit

Pre-commit must then be activated in the code repository. Change the directory to the root folder and use the install command:

cd <actinia-core_source_dir>

# once per repo
pre-commit install

Pre-commit will then be automatically triggered by the git commit command. If it finds any problem it will abort the commit and try to solve it automatically. In that case review the changes and run again git add and git commit.

It is also possible to run pre-commit manually, e.g:

pre-commit run linting --all-files

Or to target a specific set of files:

pre-commit run --files src/*

The pre-commit hooks set is defined in .pre-commit-config.yaml.

It is possible to temporally disable the pre-commit hooks in the repo, e.g. while working on older branches:

pre-commit uninstall

And to reactivate pre-commit again:

git switch main
pre-commit install
