We use pre-commit to run some quick linting such as black. While pre-commit isn't configured in CI, black is. pylint and running tests are not configured for pre-commit so commiting is fast.

In general you can rely on Github workflows to see how to run things like linting and tests, but for local development here is a good workflow.

1. To use virtualenv, create an environment with virtualenv pixeeenv or /usr/bin/env python3 -m venv pixeeenv to specify a specific Python version. If using bash or any compatible shell, activate with source pixeeenv/bin/activate. Otherwise, look at venv's documentation for instructions.

2. cd codemodder-python and pip install -e . to install the package in development mode

3. Run pip install ".[all]" to install packages used for development and testing

4. You should now be able to run pylint, pytest, etc.

You can build the docker image with docker build -t codemodder . and run it with docker run. You can also do docker run codemodder ...
