Contributing to fairscale

We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible.

Our Development Process

Minor changes and improvements will be released on an ongoing basis. Larger changes (e.g., changesets implementing a new paper) will be released on a more periodic basis.

Pull Requests

We actively welcome your pull requests.

  1. Fork the repo and create your branch from master.
  2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
  3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
  4. Ensure the test suite passes.
  5. Make sure your code lints.
  6. If you haven't already, complete the Contributor License Agreement ("CLA").

Contributor License Agreement ("CLA")

In order to accept your pull request, we need you to submit a CLA. You only need to do this once to work on any of Facebook's open source projects.

Issues

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Please ensure your description is clear and has sufficient instructions to be able to reproduce the issue.

Facebook has a bounty program for the safe disclosure of security bugs. In those cases, please go through the process outlined on that page and do not file a public issue.

Environment setup

~$ python3 -m venv venv2
~$ source venv2/bin/activate
(venv2) ~$ cd git/fairscale/
(venv2) ~/git/fairscale $ pip3 install -r requirements-test.txt

Coding Style

  • We follow the PEP8 style guide.
  • In your editor, install the editorconfig extension which should ensure that you are following the same standards as us.
  • Please run black and isort before opening up your PR.
black .
isort .
flake8
  • Please read the editorconfig file to understand the exact coding style preferences.
  • Please place Python code related to models in fairscale/nn. Place Python code related to optimizers in fairscale/optim. Place C++ extensions in fairscale/clib.
  • Please put __all__:List[str] = [] in new __init__.py files for consistent importing behavior and less development overhead in maintaining an importing list.

Testing

Static analysis

mypy --ignore-missing-imports --scripts-are-modules --pretty .

Unit tests

pytest
# single test
python -m pytest tests/nn/data_parallel/test_oss_ddp.py::test_on_cpu

Check test coverage

python -m pytest --cov-report term --cov=fairscale/nn/data_parallel \
   tests/nn/data_parallel/test_oss_ddp.py::test_on_cpu

CircleCI status

From your PR page, you can expand on the CircleCI results. For GPU test, you should see what CI has run, like:

...
----- generated xml file: /home/circleci/fairscale/test-results/junit.xml ------
================== 217 passed, 2 xfailed in 218.74s (0:03:38) ==================
CircleCI received exit code 0

The number of passed and failed should give you an idea on whether your local test was the same or not.

Commit Guidelines

We follow the same guidelines as AngularJS. Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, and a subject:

[<type>] <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on github as well as in various git tools.

Type

Must be one of the following:

  • feat: A new feature
  • fix: A bug fix
  • cleanup: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, dead code removal etc.)
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug or adds a feature
  • perf: A code change that improves performance
  • test: Adding missing tests or fixing them
  • chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation
  • docs: Documentation only changes
