Developer documentation

Here we provide some guides for the development of Rubrix.

Development setup

To set up your system for Rubrix development, you first of all have to fork our repository and clone the fork to your computer:

git clone https://github.com/[your-github-username]/rubrix.git
cd rubrix

To keep your fork’s master branch up to date with our repo you should add it as an upstream remote branch:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/recognai/rubrix.git

Now go ahead and create a new conda environment in which the development will take place and activate it:

conda env create -f environment_dev.yml
conda activate rubrix

In the new environment Rubrix will already be installed in editable mode with all its server dependencies.

To keep a consistent code format, we use pre-commit hooks. You can install them by simply running:

pre-commit install

Install the commit-msg hook if you want to check your commit messages in your contributions:

pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg

The last step is to build the static UI files in case you want to work on the UI:

bash scripts/build_frontend.sh

Now you are ready to take Rubrix to the next level 🚀

Building the documentation

To build the documentation, make sure you set up your system for Rubrix development. Then go to the docs folder in your cloned repo and execute the make command:

cd docs
make html

This will create a _build/html folder in which you can find the index.html file of the documentation.
