If you add new functionality to the package, please add a unit test for it. You can either add the test to an existing test file or create a new one. For example, if you add a new function to `samgeo/samgeo.py`, you can add the unit test to `tests/test_samgeo.py`. If you add a new module to `samgeo/`, you can create a new test file in `tests/test_`. Please refer to `tests/test_samgeo.py` for examples.
