The main repository is hosted on Our Own Kallithea (aka OOK) at

https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea/, our self-hosted instance

of Kallithea.

For now, we use Bitbucket_ for `pull requests`_ and `issue tracking`_. The

issue tracker is for tracking bugs, not for support, discussion, or ideas --

please use the `mailing list`_ or :ref:`IRC <readme>` to reach the community.

We use Weblate_ to translate the user interface messages into languages other

than English. Join our project on `Hosted Weblate`_ to help us.

To register, you can use your Bitbucket or GitHub account. See :ref:`translations`

for more details.

Getting started

---------------

To get started with Kallithea development run the following commands in your

bash shell::

        hg clone https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea

        cd kallithea

        python3 -m venv ../kallithea-venv

        pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

        pip install --upgrade -e . -r dev_requirements.txt python-ldap python-pam

        kallithea-cli config-create my.ini

        kallithea-cli db-create -c my.ini --user=user --email=user@example.com --password=password --repos=/tmp

        kallithea-cli front-end-build

        gearbox serve -c my.ini --reload &

        firefox http://127.0.0.1:5000/

If you plan to use Bitbucket_ for sending contributions, you can also fork

Kallithea on Bitbucket_ first (https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea) and

then replace the clone step above by a clone of your fork. In this case, please

see :ref:`contributing-guidelines` below for configuring your fork correctly.

Contribution flow

-----------------

Starting from an existing Kallithea clone, make sure it is up to date with the

latest upstream changes::

        hg pull

        hg update

Review the :ref:`contributing-guidelines` and :ref:`coding-guidelines`.
