# Contributing to NexQuant
We welcome contributions and suggestions to improve NexQuant. Whether it's solving an issue, addressing a bug, enhancing documentation, or even correcting a typo, every contribution is valuable and helps improve the project.
## Getting Started
To get started, you can explore the issues list or search for `TODO:` comments in the codebase by running:
```sh
grep -r "TODO:"
```
## Development Workflow
### 1. Fork and Clone
```bash
# Fork the repository on GitHub, then clone your fork
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/NexQuant.git
cd NexQuant
# Add upstream remote
git remote add upstream https://github.com/TPTBusiness/NexQuant.git
```
### 2. Create a Branch
```bash
# Use conventional commit prefixes in branch names
git checkout -b feat/your-feature-name
# or
git checkout -b fix/bug-description
git checkout -b docs/documentation-update
git checkout -b refactor/code-cleanup
```
**Branch naming convention:**
- `feat/` - New features
- `fix/` - Bug fixes
- `docs/` - Documentation changes
- `refactor/` - Code refactoring
- `test/` - Test additions/fixes
- `chore/` - Maintenance tasks
### 3. Make Your Changes
Follow the project conventions:
- **Code style**: Use type hints, docstrings (Google style), and 120 char line limit
- **Language**: All comments and documentation MUST be in English
- **Structure**: Follow the existing module structure
### 4. Write Tests
**MANDATORY:** All new features MUST have tests with >80% coverage.
```bash
# Run tests
pytest test/ -v
# Run with coverage
pytest --cov=rdagent --cov-report=html
# Run integration tests
pytest test/integration/ -v
```
### 5. Run Pre-commit Hooks
Pre-commit hooks run automatically before EVERY commit:
```bash
# Install pre-commit
pre-commit install
# Run manually
pre-commit run --all-files
```
### 6. Commit Your Changes
Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format:
```bash
git commit -m "type: description"
# Types:
# feat: New feature
# fix: Bug fix
# docs: Documentation
# style: Formatting
# refactor: Code restructuring
# test: Tests
# chore: Maintenance
```
**Examples:**
```bash
git commit -m "feat: Add Optuna hyperparameter optimization"
git commit -m "fix: Resolve database connection timeout"
git commit -m "docs: Update README with new CLI commands"
git commit -m "test: Add integration tests for portfolio optimizer"
```
### 7. Push and Create a Pull Request
```bash
git push origin your-branch-name
```
Then open a Pull Request on GitHub with:
- Clear title (use conventional commit format)
- Description of changes
- Link to related issues
- Screenshots (for UI changes)
## Code Review Process
All PRs are reviewed by maintainers. Expect:
- Automated checks (tests, linting, security scan)
- Code review by maintainers
- Possible requested changes
## Important Rules
### 🚫 NEVER COMMIT
- `.env` files or API keys
- Generated data (`results/`, `*.db`, `*.log`)
- Closed-source assets (`models/local/`, `prompts/local/`)
- JSON strategy files in root directory
- Private credentials or tokens
### ✅ ALWAYS DO
- Write tests for new features
- Update documentation for user-visible changes
- Run `pre-commit run --all-files` before pushing
- Keep commit messages in English
- Follow conventional commit format
