develop on a feature branch, and [create a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork) when done.
There are a few things to consider for contributing code:
- * Please use the standard [PEP-8 coding style](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/)
- (your IDE or tools like [pep8](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8) or [pylint](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pylint) will help you)
+ * We ensure the [PEP-8 coding style](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/)
+ by using [black](https://pypi.org/project/black/) auto-format in a
+ pre-commit hook; you can locally install
+ [pre-commit](https://pypi.org/project/pre-commit/) to run the linter
+ tests on check-in or on demand (`pre-commit run --all-files`)
* Use the [Google documentation style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html) to document new public classes or methods
* Provide unit tests for bug fixes or new functionality - check the existing tests for examples
* Provide meaningful commit messages - it is ok to amend the commits to improve the comments
- * Check that the automatic tests on [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/jmcgeheeiv/pyfakefs)
- and [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jmcgeheeiv/pyfakefs) all pass for your pull request
- * Be ready to adapt your changes after a code review
