## Running tests
## Support and contributing
First, clone a copy of [borgmatic source code](https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic):

```bash
git clone https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic

### Contributing
If you'd like to contribute to borgmatic development, please feel free to
submit a [Pull Request](https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic/pulls)
or open an [issue](https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic/issues) first
to discuss your idea. We also accept Pull Requests on GitHub, if that's more
your thing. In general, contributions are very welcome. We don't bite!
### Development
To get set up to hack on borgmatic, first clone master via HTTPS or SSH:
```
git clone https://projects.torsion.org/witten/borgmatic.git
```
Then, install tox, which is used for setting up testing environments:
Or:
```bash
git clone ssh://git@projects.torsion.org:3022/witten/borgmatic.git
```
Then, install borgmatic
"[editable](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#editable-installs)"
so that you can easily run borgmatic commands while you're hacking on them to
make sure your changes work.
```bash
cd borgmatic/
pip3 install --editable --user .
```
Note that this will typically install the borgmatic commands into
`~/.local/bin`, which may or may not be on your PATH. There are other ways to
install borgmatic editable as well, for instance into the system Python
install (so without `--user`, as root), or even into a
[virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/). How or where you install
borgmatic is up to you, but generally an editable install makes development
and testing easier.
### Running tests
Assuming you've cloned the borgmatic source code as described above, and
you're in the `borgmatic/` working copy, install tox, which is used for
setting up testing environments:
```bash
sudo pip3 install tox

correctly even without the C YAML library. And borgmatic won't be any faster
with the C library present, so you don't need to go out of your way to install
it.
